I still get water stains in the toilet...I thought the softener would
stop that.

Drinking more beer may help. Could be something else that the softener is
not removing.



Also, it is too late for me to change the water feeds. The softener is
right after my main water valve for the entire house, so I'm stuck with
it for drinkin, plants, and outside watering.

Do you have room to put a T in the line and take off water for other uses?
Could be a PITA to separate the lines.
