The salts can build up in your container and soil and will eventually cause damage and death to your plants.

I understand about the salt and seedlings. What I'm wondering though, is the water that's gone from the softenere then through the RO filter good enough?
Or I'll get water from an outside tap or bypass or something.
I have just used the regular (softened) water for houseplants, and they've been fine for 10 years. Either they're tough or I'm lucky I guess.
