Water is not a mineral because it is not solid--except in Antarctica and Greenland, and on the moons of the outer planets. In these contexts it is considered a rock-forming mineral.
The word mineral has several meanings, it can be used to refer to the chemically distinct solids formed by geolocical processes. Mineral can also be defined as in dietary mineral, in this context it is defined as ions which are needed for the body the function optimally. Water is a molecule which exists in a partially dissacosiated state and so technically it could be argued that water is to some degree a mineral. In reality the term dietary minerals is used to refer only to those ions required by the body in low concentrations and so water is not thought of as a mineral. The dry residue content of your mineral water is given in the labling and will provide information as to the actual mineral content of your mineral water. The mineral water itself is very weak solution of the minerals listed on the lable. There are normally many different minerals in a bottle of water and also in tap water.
What else can I help you with?
Is mineral water a solution or a colloid?
Mineral water is a solution because it consists of dissolved mineral salts and gases in water, where the solute particles are molecular size and spread evenly throughout the solvent.
Why is water a mineral?
Water is not considered a mineral because it is a compound composed of two different elements, hydrogen and oxygen. In order to be classified as a mineral, a substance must be naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, have a specific chemical formula, and possess a crystalline structure, which water lacks.
How do you get the specific gravity of a mineral?
Fill a beaker with water, and weigh it. Weigh a sample of the mineral. That's the mass of the mineral. Put the sample in the beaker and weigh that. The weight of the water-filled beaker plus the weight of the mineral sample will be greater than the weight of the beaker with mineral sample and water. The difference is the weight of the displaced water, in grams. The volume of the mineral sample, in cubic centimeters is equal to the weight of the displaced water, in grams. Calculate the specific gravity of the mineral by dividing the weight of the mineral sample by the volume of the mineral sample. Example: your beaker weighs 40 grams. Filled with water, it's 1040 grams. The sample of mineral weighs 160 grams. The beaker with the sample of mineral and water weighs 1179.7 grams. The mineral, and the beaker with water would have a combined weight of 1200 grams, but the beaker with mineral and water weighs 20.3 grams less than that, so the mineral sample is displacing 20.3 cubic centimeters of water. Given a mass of 160 grams and a volume of 2.03 CC, the specific gravity would be found by dividing 160 by 20.3. It's 7.85. (Which happens to be the specific gravity of some iron.)

Can minerals be liquids?
No. A mineral must be solid to be a mineral. For example, liquid water is not a mineral. Frozen water, or ice, is a mineral.
Is ocean water a mineral?
I am completely amazed. I was sure that water was NOT a mineral. But water is listed as a mineral in my dictionary definition. Of course, this isn't a science text, but at this point I'm willing to entertain the possibility that water is... a mineral.

Is mineral water heavier than general water?
No, mineral water is not necessarily heavier than regular water. The weight of water is primarily determined by its temperature and impurities, not necessarily if it is mineral water or not.
