This is a good page explaining hard water and some of the chemistry behind it:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water
If your issue is truly hard water, get an ion exchange softener. It uses salt
to trade out the calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions. These don’t make
your water salty.
At some point the ion exchange column has no more sodium ions yo exchange, so
it’s regenerated by washing it in a nearly saturated salt solution. The Ca and
Mg ions are exchanged for sodium ions and washed out as CaCl and MgCl. It’s
cheap, reliable, long-lasting, and works. Throwing salt in your well would
result in salty hard water.
