Water Softeners

My parents' house has well water, with a salt based water softener (I don't know if there's any other kinds). Our water smells like rotten eggs, and it feels like soap doesn't ever completely rinse off, though it does, you just still feel "slippery". The only maintenance I've seen needed is the changing of our various filters, though that's more due to having well water, and the buying of salt pellets that look like giant, white guinea pig droppings to dump into the softener itself. They come in big 50lb bags that at a quick glance looks like driveway salt.
