I considered a softener but i am on a restricted salt diet. Doctor said not to get one.
Perhaps you should stick to commenting on what you are qualified to answer. Water softeners do in fact add a small amount of sodium during operation - it is this ion exchange that makes them work. During operation, the resin captures a calcium or magnesium ion and releases a sodium ion. During the regeneration process, it swaps back the captured calcium/magnesium ion with a sodium ion.
Granted, it is a small amount, but depending on the extent a person is trying to limit salt intake, it might be significant.

I have noticed that the water heater Anode Rod will get eatin up faster because of the salt.
Just something else to watch out for.
You could swap to an aluminum anode rod..........but it may not protect as well when using softener
