This is correct, and not unexpected. All plumbing should be copper, all
end fixtures brass when possible. I have 2 sets of BRASS shower heads
(no plastic, not even fittings), I switch them out, then soak the used
one in CS for a few days, let it dry, then put it away until the next
change out. Seems to work pretty well. The whole plastic shower head
and PVC movement is /pathetic, /another idea gone bad. I did this
before the whole thing was made public, it just made sense to me.
Don't forget hotel rooms, bring your own shower head, sounds strange but
those places are disgusting cesspools of germs with 20 year old plastic
shower heads. We don't have to be paranoid about it, but when you take a
nice shower it would be nice to know you aren't vaporizing fungus and
bacteria into your face. You can find the shower heads I use on Ebay or
your local hardware (and the pressure from them ROCKS): (pathogens
aren't happy about brass either)

I also have one of these:

I recently listened to an NPR report on how there is a microbe that
lives in plastic shower heads. They recommended a brass shower head.
I couldn't find one that didn't have plastic inserts where the water
jets exit!

Usually before I recommend anything, or make any statements, I
exhaust all of the testing and trials I can do at an individual
level. In terms of CS, I've used it for years as a cleaning
product, and funny enough, its EPA approved as such that. It's
sprayed on the bars and holding ropes on Singapore Subways these
days. I decided I would try ingesting it to see the results, and
haven't had anything negative come of consuming quite a lot to
"Try". However, I suspect you should keep your flora in shape, so
I would accompany it with a good probiotic. Nothing bad to say
about CS thus far, frankly. It seems like pretty amazing stuff,
you know?
My wife works at a hospital, did you know they started coating
instruments and surfaces with nano-silver? Very cool, and not
unexpected! I've read extensive research on how fast various
metals kill various pathogens, it's enlightening. Copper is
actually quite deadly to many pathogens, and this forms the basis
of having copper pipes in the home as opposed to PVC. PVC can
breed pathogens, locally we recently had a building shut down not
far from here that had PVC pipes, some pathogens formed in the
pipes which wouldn't normally form in copper pipes, and made the
people in the building quite sick. I've experimented with Zinc
killing stuff as well, it's effective in my experience.
I brew my own CS now, and use it in my home-made products we use,
soaps, hand soaps, cleaning supplies, disinfectant sprays, etc.
We buy as little as possible from the store these days. I've
learned to make almost anything from scratch, it is fun and
interesting, my kids love watching how you make this or that, you
know? No wonder there is a good dis-info campaign against CS out
there. All anyone ever hears about is the "Blue Man", never the 2
million people consuming CS without problem. It's quite
ridiculous.. I found that prior to the Chemical Industry taking
over Medicine, Silver was approved for close to 200 conditions!
I have some of the best recipes ever, forged with a lot of trial
and error. You should see my baby wipes, they are so good, people
that see them always demand to know where I got them. Of course
information is always free, and I share all recipes freely to
anyone that asks. I'd be less than human if I didn't.
Good luck.
