I'm wondering this same thing. Supposedly soft water is good for your skin but everytime I'm at someone's house who has a water softener I find that my hands feel slick after washing them and then within a few hours of having washed my hands they begin to itch and peel. Both my parents and my friends have a water softener and I've had this experience at both places. I've also showered at my parents house using my bath soap (ivory) and found their water to irritate the heck out of my skin (dryness and itching).

This happens almost every time I was my hands with soft water and never otherwise. I wonder if it's the salt content of the water.

Funny thing is, I grew up with soft water (again, parents have it) but now after using 'regular' water for years and years the soft water seems to just irritate the heck out of my skin. I'd actually like to have a water softener but am not about to pay that kind of money for something that sure seems to irritate my skin.

How would taking in water or air before a new exoskeleton hardens help an arthropod?

Arthropod means "jointed legs," because arthropods are covered with a hard skin ("crab shells" are the hard skin of crabs) and they move by flexing joints along their hard skin. When they grow, they have to grow inside their hard skin. But, if the skin is too tight, there's no space! By taking in air or water when their shell is still soft, arthropods can "pump up" and make a nice roomy shell to grow in. When they fill that shell up, they crawl out of it, and then pump up the soft skin underneath. The pumped up soft skin hardens into hard skin, and the arthropod is ready to keep growing.
