Question Water softener bad for my Phal?

My daughter bough me a white Phalaenopsis a couple of days ago. It has 2 flowers in bloom and 2 buds. I noticed that the medium was dry so I watered it. Now I see the buds turning yellow. After reading some posts regarding Phals I read that either change in environment or lack of air to roots will do this. I do have a water softener at home. Will that affect my plant? There are 4 green leaves and they seem to be yellowing a little. I have the plant in my bathroom which is sunny in the afternoon. It is in a plastice container within a clay pot. Should I take it out of the plastic container? Any advice will help.
Thanks
