When Wai says the water one drinks should have low mineral content, what exactly constitutes low? The brands she recommends are not readily found in my area, however, there are a number of others.
Would this be considered low in mineral content (e.g. Fiji Water):
(mg/liter)
Silica: 85
Calcium: 17
Magnesium: 13
Bicarbonates: 140
Total dissolved solids: 210
Also, how effective are the water filtration systems a la Brita and Pur?
Muchos Gracias,
Seth

Sodium, chloride and potassium are not mentioned here, though essential regarding this aspect.Would this be considered low in mineral content (e.g. Fiji Water):
(mg/liter)
Silica: 85
Calcium: 17

Bicarbonates: 140

The calcium and magnesium level is not low, and that of bicarbonates is a bit high.

I dont know...
Has anyone heard of Coral Water?

They carry it near me and bought some today. I haven't tried it yet. But sounds interesting.

I think it's VERY VERY LOW mineral content.
Last but not least, they sell it in glass and not in plastic.
Could you tell me if its safe to drink water stored in bottles of plastic?
I was worried because I dont know the consequences of the sun on those boxes of bottles left on the sidewalk for hours...
There the bloody big red sore ones as well! 
is Arrowhead water ok??
Oh ya jest to throw this out there I herd that chlorine can be very very acne causing.
Exposure to high levels of chlorine compounds, particularly chlorinated dioxins, can cause severe, long-lasting acne, known as Chloracne.
Chloracne is an acne-like eruption of blackheads, cysts, and pustules associated with over-exposure to certain halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorinated dioxins and dibenzofurans. The lesions are most frequently found on the cheeks, behind the ears, in the armpits and groin region.
Is Clorine found in the shower water people wash in or only in pools and what not.

Water shouldnt contain too much chlorine, indeed.
Naturally, chlorine is found everywhere; most foods contain low levels of chlorine, its only the elevated levels you need to avoid.
High levels of chlorine in shower water and swimming pools 'only' affect the skin on the outside; it dehydrates your skin. Elevated levels in mineral waters cause acne 'from the inside', by causing water retention in the true skin.
