There are many paths to water purity, but I would certainly avoid the people who make the high-pressure approaches.

No salt enters the consumer system.
The salt is to clean the softener filters.
It is not recommended to drink softened water, that is why most kitchen cold taps bypass the softener.
For drinking water a filter should be added to that tap alone if required.
