Could be either or both. Depends on the method used to purify the water. If you use reverse osmosis or distillation, it would be physical. If the water is treated with chlorine, it would be chemical.
Because when the salt is dissolved, the chemical makeup of the crystal changes, making it a chemical change. However, you can evaporate the water, capture all the steam, cool the steam, and then you have the salt (original chemical makeup) and the water, making it a physical change.
Physical
Dissolving salt in water is a physical change- no chemical reaction took place. If the water evaporates, the salt is still there.
The process of salt dissolving in water is a physical change because it does not involve a change in the chemical composition of either the salt or the water. The salt molecules are simply separated and dispersed within the water molecules.
It is neither chemical not is it a property. It is a physical change.
Physical. It is a mixture of salt and water. No chemical change has taken place.
chemical change
Making saltwater is a physical change because it only involves mixing two substances, salt and water, without altering their chemical composition. In this case, the salt dissolves in the water, but the salt molecules remain the same.

Mixing salt and water is a physical change, not a chemical change. The salt does not change its chemical composition when it dissolves in water, only its physical state.
