This website discusses the topic. I came acroos this information on the web as I was trying to research the same question.
In Connecticut it is prohibited by law in any case it is not recommended.
The septic tank contrary to popular myth performs a much smaller portion of the treatment of sewage than the drainfield. The septic tank should be a calm, still environment where settling and separation of the solids and liquids takes place. Salt brine from water softeners because of the high salt content is heavier than sewage and displaces and stirs up the sewage as it enters the tank plunging to the very bottom displacing the accumulated sludge. This is contrary to the normal workings of the tank. Undesirable substances from the bottom of the tank recombine with the clarified sewage effluent in the center zone of the tank and spill over into the drainfield. Salt water brine should never be introduced into a septic tank.
