The salt water is to wash/clean the ion beads in the treatment tank. They then filter/catch the hard water minerals. The better softeners have a fresh water rinse after the salt water but they all still leave some salt in the system.
I have had several systems over the years and some use more salt than others. The Kinetico Water Softener system I had seemed to work the best. It actually metered your water usage and since it had two tanks it only regenerated when needed. The others just are timed and regenerate each night. So if you use more water than normal you may not get much softening at the end. If you use less than you may have a high residue of salt.
The only issue with Kinetico Company is that they give out territories. So you can only get them from the one guy for your area. I had a run in when my system started to dump HUGE amounts of salt into the fresh water system. The dealer was less than helpful. So I threw the system out in the yard and told him to come and get it. They had a deal where you could rent it for one year and then if you liked the system you could buy it at a predetermined price. The system worked well until the controller messed up. The dealers service/attitude was terrible. I am glad I had not boughten the system. I will no longer deal with companies that lock me into a certain territory dealer.
