Could be the salt from the softener. Fill a custard cup with water, set it aside and let it evaporate. If you see crystals it may be salt.

Worked in a hospital kitchen in Orange County, CA where the dietitian had the tap water tested. It was so salty from all the irrigation etc. before it got to us that she wouldn't let a extremely low sodium patient use it.
