I have recurring blue crystals in the shower head in one bathroom. There are no blue crystals in the sinks on the same line.
Plumber did the water tanks, dip sticks (?) intact, nothing coming out during flushing of both tanks.
Can't imagine what is causing this. Appears to be only from the shower head pipe to the next pipe and not connected to the sink pipes.
All copper plumbing in the bathrooms.
Next call is to an electrician re:previous posts on this subject.
Need help and direction.

I assume that you have a water softener?

It's probably calcium deposits breaking off the copper plumbing and washing on upstream to the shower. It would normally occur only with higher flow fixtures such as a shower faucet but not necessarily sink faucets.
