I actually do use Epsom salt on occasion and it perks my plants up if they are wilty. I wouldn't think a little salt in the water would affect them too much. Look at other variables. Maybe even go with distilled water on your started plants if you think the tap is causing an issue. Of bigger concern to me than pH is the temperature of the water ... mine comes out of the tap at around 40-45F. With seedlings I let it sit to warm up before watering.

I guess I misinterpreted your statement somehow.
