Ice. Pluto, Charon, and pluto's other moons are not known to have any internal processes capable of generating sufficient heat to melt ice at their distance from the sun.

What are Pluto's ice mantle?
From Wikipedia: "Spectroscopic analysis of Pluto's surface reveals it to be composed of more than 98 percent nitrogen ice, with traces of methane and carbon monoxide." Further down, it is believed that there is water ice, and finally a rocky core.
The planets were originally giant comets captured by the sun?
Our current theory of the formation of our solar system is that the planets formed more or less in their present orbits. We do not believe that the planets (with the exception of Pluto) were "captured" by the Sun's gravity.
What is the artificial satellite's name that will reach Pluto in 2015?
The satellite sent to explore Pluto was called Charon. Charon is not the satellite on the way to Pluto. Charon is a satellite (moon) of Pluto. The satellite currently on the way to explore Pluto is called New Horizons. It is expected to arrive July, 2015.
Does Pluto have cold water?

How big is the planet Pluto?
Pluto is 2,304 kilometers (1,432 miles) at the equator, and is only about the size of Russia. Pluto only has a mass of about one 400th that of Earth. Pluto is composed of several different materials, Pluto's thin crust is simply composed of ice, Pluto's mantel is quite rich in water and ice, Pluto's large core is probably about 70% rock, and 30% water ice. Radioactivity in the rock has warmed the interior, ensuring Pluto is spherical and differentiated; rock has sunk to the center and water ice has formed a surface layer. also present are ices of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane.
Where can anyone buy Pluto water?
You can't buy Pluto water anywhere in the world, but you might be able to find Pluto Water bottles in antique stores.

Pluto has ice on it so there for it is partially water.
Why does one side of pluto always face charon?
Pluto is tidally locked to Charon. When the Pluto-Charon system first formed Pluto's rotation was probably faster, but was slowed by the effects of Charon's gravity.
Does Pluto have water on it or on its moons?
There is no liquid water on the surface; it is far too cold. Pluto is so cold that even nitrogen freezes. The same goes for its moons.
