What can I buy to filter the salt from a water softner out of my drinking water (kitchen tap)? ?

I have hard water so I bought a water softner which puts salt in the water that comes out of all the faucets, showers, etc in my house. I spend lots of money buying bottles of water because I can’t drink the water that comes out of my sink because it tastes weird (there’s lots of sodium in it). A Pur or Brita water filter (while good at taking lots of other sediments and stuvff out) still leaves the salt in water and it still tastes weird. So is there anything that specifically takes the salt back out that my water softener puts into my tap water?

absolutely helvelin
that installation does not comply with the Water Regs, any problems with the plumber ie they dont want to come back or say it will be a while, call the local water company to send an inspector to look at it

edit
the unit could have a problem with it but there still has to be a drinking water tap which bypasses the softener.

the salt used displaces the absorbed calcium and magnesium on the resin. the water which is produced after hardness removal then contains extra sodium. this can be a problem for people on restricted salt diets re high blood pressure, heart attacks. thats why you have a separate drinking water tap so you have the natural water salts but not the sodium
