I suggest that you contact your water softener rep or company. My
understanding is that older models did cause problems and newer
models do not. We haven't been using our softener for a couple of
years because our water isn't really very hard, but we did water all
of our plants with softened water for about 5 years with no
problems and we have a nursery. We also have very sandy fast
draining soil which may cause any salts to leech out. Like most
other gardening things, there are probably
no hard and fast rules which will work for everyone.
