We have the same issue in our 3 month old house. The casue is excessive copper in your water. We had our water tested and the test returned and high level. From what I have learned, a water softner will make the issue worse. The root casue is from corrosion of the copper pipes casued by either a bad coppper pipe/fitting, a stray current from the water main electrical ground.
