jasmine sambac-- salt problems?

Hi! Does anyone know if jasmine sambac is sensitive to salt? I have a sambac that did great last summer (indoors, too), and I dutifully pruned it and cut back on fertilizing over the winter. The plant seems to have overwintered fine, but...

A lot of the leaves have remained yellow even as the plant has gotten more and more sunlight. It has even put out a few new shoots and flowers. However, I suspect my local tap water of having a fairly high salt content, and I'm wondering if it's accumulated to too high a level. I have to flush my potted dwarf citrus periodically, so maybe the jasmine needs it as well?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
