That is an old wives tale about putting salt in the water. If sodium chloride is used as a regeneration agent then a small amount of sodium (Na) is added to the water, not salt (NaCl); about the amount of sodium in a slide of bread per 8 oz glass of water. The chloride is stripped off. If this negligible amount of sodium still bothers you then use potassium chloride as the regeneration agent. You can get a water softener for about $450 from a "big box" store. While you can certainly pay thousands of dollars if you feel so inclined, you don't need to do so.
