I read that Morton salt was really good to use for a water softener. If salt is a no-go, you can always try to use potassium chloride instead.
There are many reasons for a water softener not to us salt. For example: - The water softener is bypassed (so no water going through it) or switched off. - The water softener is not metering water consumption properly. - The valve is jammed or broken. - There is an air leak in the brine draw mechanism. Which one is most likely will depend on which make and model of water softener you have. If you have an engineering mindset and have a good fault-finding guide, you can try working through these. Otherwise it is time to call in a good water softener engineer. Julian Hobday of KindWater
Water softener changes the chemical values and proportions in water. Therefore, some people will differentiate a change in taste of water to be more salty. However, malfunctioning can produce higher level of salty water by the softener.
Your dishwasher soap already has a water softener included in it. You can run the salt through, but it may affect the amount of soap you need.
Water softener is used to improve water in hard water conditions. If your water tastes odd or leaves white deposits then you may benefit from a water softener. You'll also need to use less soap with a water softener.

Water softened by a conventional salt-based water softener contains sodium. How much depends on the water softener's settings - which in turn is determined by how hard your water is and how soft you want it to be. If there's enough sodium in the water, it can indeed harm house plants. You can avoid this issue by using filtered water, or water from an outside tap (assuming your softener bypasses outside water, as it should). Alternatively, you can get a salt free water softener, which doesn't use sodium chloride to treat water.
When water is hard, meaning it contains more minerals than ordinary water, you would want to use a water softener. Water softeners remove minerals from hard water, which would normally clog drains. Water softeners are normally used if water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium in it. The softener filters out the calcium and magnesium to make the water "soft".
The reason you choose a water softener will best allow you to chose a saltless softener or a traditional softener. If you are using a water softener to help your household plumbing stay clean and gunk-free, then you should choose a traditional softener. If your goal is to have softer feeling and tasting water then a saltless softener will work just fine for you. With this softener, you are not actually removing salt, just changing the electric charge of the water.
