Here is a good article on the mineral content of various tap water and bottled water sources.

In general, tap water contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, zinc, iron, copper, and fluoride. This is not a comprehensive list, and mineral content of water varies dramatically by region, source, and distribution system. Even your household Plumbing will have an effect.
What else can I help you with?
Does letting tap water sit out evaporate minerals?
Letting tap water sit out may reduce the chlorine content as it evaporates, but it will not significantly affect the mineral content. Minerals in water do not evaporate like volatile compounds such as chlorine.
Is there a boiling point for tap water?
Yes, it may be different depending on mineral content. Pure water boiling point- 212 degrees Fahrenheit
Now a days why do people prefer to drink mineral water instead of tap water?
People prefer to drink mineral water rather than tap water as mineral water has had all the bad microbes taken out by a filter. Tap water however, has had the bad microbes taken out with small amounts of chlorine The chlorine is not good for you to drink. Now though, at home you can by a tap filter to get mineral water out of your tap.
What percent of the water in gambia is drinkable?
Gambians drink tap water, it is clean and safe for them to drink. However the mineral content is such that it will give tourists the famous 'Banjul belly' - diarrhoea to you and me
Why does the mosquito's eggs die in mineral and tap water?
Mineral and tap water do not have the tiny insects that mosquitos feed on.So, the mosquitos' larve would die from starvation.
Can you differentiate between mineral water and tap water without testing?
Mineral water comes from natural springs, contains various minerals, and is typically bottled at the source. Tap water is sourced from rivers, lakes, or underground aquifers, treated for impurities, and distributed through pipes to homes. Mineral content, source, and treatment process distinguish the two types of water.
How will tap water mineral water and seltzer water affect the growth of radish seeds?
Tap water, mineral water, and seltzer water can all potentially affect the growth of radish seeds due to differences in their mineral content and pH levels. Tap water likely contains chlorine and other additives that could hinder growth, mineral water may provide additional nutrients beneficial for growth, while seltzer water, being carbonated, may not have a significant impact on growth but could affect soil pH. Conducting a controlled experiment with each type of water can help determine the specific effects on radish seed growth.
Which water is best for plants tap water mineral water or seltzer water?
Mineral water because it has lots of nutrients and enerrgy for the plant to grow quicker.
Is mineral water healthier than tap water?
Yes, mineral water means the water is treated with accurate amount of permissible minerals are present in the packaged drinking water.
Is tap water or bottle water better for plants?
tap water is not that good because of chlorine. So low mineral water in bottles is better for them the chlorine might not be that good for plants, but plants do need the minerals in tap water.
What should be added to the electrolyte in a battery to bring it to the proper level?
Distilled water or filtered water, never use tap water in a battery. Due to the mineral content in tap water this can over time short out the cells in the batter and reduce the battery life. If you are in a pinch you can use filtered bottle water, read the label to be sure the minerals have been removed.
How is distilled water and mineral water different from tap water?
I can't help with mineral water. But, Distilled water can be classified as high purity water in a since. There is no contaminates or microbiology in the water. Tap Water will, in most cases, have some minerals still in it like iron, manganese, but at really low levels. Of course city tap water will have a small chlorine residual to make sure no microbiology will enter the system as it is delivered. So tap water can have some minerals but no pathogens.
