What's the cost of some common bottled water? Never drink it, but
maybe some brands are low in minerals.
Most bottled waters are lightly filtered "city" or well water. Perrier
used to (may still) bottle Chester County, PA well water. Took so much
out that my friends had to dig a deeper well.
You can probably get better water for FAR less by putting a simple
filter on your house supply. We have a filter and dedicated "drinking
water" tap at the kitchen sink.
Most minerals won't be filtered out, but some of the "gunk" Larry's
talking about will be. I also have kidney stone problems, but the
filter is sufficient for me as our water's fairly "soft" to begin with.
