Your dishwasher soap already has a water softener included in it. You can run the salt through, but it may affect the amount of soap you need.

Is water softener the same as salt?
There are many reasons for a water softener not to us salt. For example: - The water softener is bypassed (so no water going through it) or switched off. - The water softener is not metering water consumption properly. - The valve is jammed or broken. - There is an air leak in the brine draw mechanism. Which one is most likely will depend on which make and model of water softener you have. If you have an engineering mindset and have a good fault-finding guide, you can try working through these. Otherwise it is time to call in a good water softener engineer. Julian Hobday of KindWater

Is dishwasher salt the same as swimming pool salt?
NO ------- Dishwasher salt is, however, the same as softener salt as used in water softeners for houses. You could use granular or tablet form. It's approximately one third to one quarter of the price per pound /kilo. You may be causing more harm to the pool & equipment by using other type salt. The savings from the wrong salt could result in replacing major components of the pool system. Not a good idea. Use what is recommended - there is a reason for those recommendations.

Can you use dendritic salt in your water softener?
It is salt, sodium chloride, which softeners use to strip the cation exchange resin beads of calcium and magnesium, (hardness), to regenerate them. So you should be able to use it, but at $0.83 per pound it's much more expensive than the $0.09 per pound softener salt.
What are the benefits of a salt free water softener?
People can enjoy many benefits from switching over to a salt free water softener. Most people report that their water tastes better and that it is even softer than it was when they added salt to the softener. As compared to a convention, salt-using water softener, saltless or salt-free softeners require far less maintenance and are better for the environment. You don't have to keep it stocked with water softener salt. Conventional systems use sodium salt in a process that creates hundreds of gallons of waste water per year. That's why a lot of conventional salt-using water softeners have been banned in many cities and even states. Salt free water softeners also don't strip out the calcium and magnesium in your water. These minerals can cause scaling in pipes if not treated, but they are also good for people, pets, and plants. Additionally, saltless water softeners don't add sodium to your drinking water, which may be selling point for people on low sodium diets.
Does water from water softener harm plants?
Water softened by a conventional salt-based water softener contains sodium. How much depends on the water softener's settings - which in turn is determined by how hard your water is and how soft you want it to be. If there's enough sodium in the water, it can indeed harm house plants. You can avoid this issue by using filtered water, or water from an outside tap (assuming your softener bypasses outside water, as it should). Alternatively, you can get a salt free water softener, which doesn't use sodium chloride to treat water.
