If opening and closing the softener is a hassle another way to deal with it is to install something like this ( whole house filter ).
You put the filter on the input side of the water softener. When it is time to regenerate you put the salt in the filter housing then invert it and run water thru the filter into the softener until the salt is gone. Run water for and additional 15 minutes or so to rinse the softener and it's good to go. You can use any type of salt, regular softener pellets, table salt, ice cream salt, they will all work.
I use the quick disconnect fittings on the hose ends. Less trouble with leaks and to me more convenient.
If you need some lubricant for the O-ring I would use plumbers silicone.
Good luck.
