German here. German's have a weird obsession with sparkling water. (Not even kidding.) I had favorite tastes of bottled water and would take a special brand to get electrolytes after working out. That particularly salty water is Gerolsteiner. They do market that specifically (2.5g salt/litre, 120mg of Sodium, less than a tenth of the recommended daily dose. Don't drink 20 litres.). They even have a mineral water comparison app. Just know Natrium is Sodium and Kalium is Potassium, rest should be fine.
You'll see that there's a wide range of salt content in the brands of water. And I'd say the salt myth is pretty directly related to the Daily Mail.
There are several studies showing that water retention in fizzy water is the same as tap water^1, or possibly slightly lower. Can't find the study, but the idea was that because of the bubbles you take in less volume of water.
The LD50 for water in rats is 90g/kg. So maybe just don't drink over 6 litres at once.
Apart from that, if you don't want to rig up your entire water supply, maybe start with a Soda Stream, but buy it on sale.
