A water softener doesn't change the volume of solids dissolved in the water, it just changes them from limestone to washing soda. If you evaporate hard or soft water you still get rock. Washing soda is much more soluable though so it stains less, doesn't plug pipes as fast and doesn't kill soaps and detergents so washing processes work better. In fact good softened water washes fair by itself because of the washing soda.
Softened water still makes stones in the body, so I don't drink it. RO for drinking water does remove both solids and aromatics, better than distillation but its expensive to buy and to run so you tend to not do it for the whole house.
Iron wrecks the softener fairly fast, you need to use a resin cleaner or Pellens, and if that's not working long, you need an iron filter. A good water treatment place can check the water and supply the necessary equipment to do it right.
Go to your county extension office and ask for the home water treatment book from Midwest Plans Service. It will cost a few bucks but will give you more information than the typical water conditioner salesman ever knew.
