Doesn't an inexpensive water filter on the tap or refrigerator remove any
residual salt from the softener?

snipped,

Not as far as I know. Last time I looked at the filtering specs of a
refer/drinking filter they were basically sediment. Some filter chemicals,
but they are not the cheaply ones. To remove salt I know a reverse osmosis
would do the trick

I am sodium sensitive so I use potassium.
