They claim to accomplish what you're after, but it sounds like some kind of water filtration system that they're selling. I'll link you to it just so you can have a look, but I'm not sure that's it:

There are liquid mineral supplements out there. In fact, I bought a small sample of one of these a couple of months ago from VitaminShoppe. This sounds a lot more like what you're after:

Vitamin Shoppe
Trace Mineral Liquid
8 Fluid Ounces Liquid
VS-2291 #1563824

VALUE PRICE:
$14.99
http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=VS-2291

Directions:
As a dietary supplement, mix 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon once or twice daily with juice or food. May also be taken straight, followed by a glass of juice or water. If needed or desired, dosages may be moderately increased. Moderately increased dosages are safe, but larger amounts may have a laxative effect. For a complete, balanced spectrum of low sodium and trace minerals, and improved flavor, add 20-40 drops (2-4 drops per glass) of Trace Mineral Liquid to one gallon of distilled, R.O., or purified water. Compares to expensive mineral water. At 20 drops per gallon, 8 ounces will remineralize 192 gallons.

Supplement Facts - Amount per Serving
Magnesium - 250 Mg
Chloride - 700 Mg
Sodium - 10 Mg
Potassium - 10 Mg
Sulfate - 55 Gm
Lithium - 1.5 Mg
Boron - 1 Mg

This didn't taste bad to me, but I mixed it in with juice not water. I only bought it so that my purchase amount was high enough to qualify for a promotional thing they were having. But it seems like a good product.

I hope this helps!!

Sparkling water has carbon dioxide dissolved in it and so it is acid and can damage the enamel of your teeth.  If you drink a lot of it I would recommend using a straw to reduce the flow of it across your teeth.

 

Spring water is good... reverse osmosis water (RO) is good too (Disanti, etc).  You can get a reverse osmosis system for your house from www.freedrinkingwater.com (I would recommend that site... honest dealings with many folks I know) and I have no association with them other than being a regular customer.  I would recommend the 9 gallon per day one at least and you can add a UV sterilizer to kill living organisms that might be lurking in your water. 

 

Find out from your water company what kind of chlorine they use (bonded or free gas) and then let these people at the site know so they can recommend some form of chlorine remover for your system.  Chlorine is poisonous... tolerable but still it wipes your natual biotic flora from your digestive system and that is very bad.  Other thinks like Fluoride are mile toxins too... tolerable but have a cumalative negative effect on your health I think.  A carbon filter (part of your system) will remove many of these bad things.

 

I regard tap water as dangerous... in my home we don't even let the dog and cat drink it.  Even our refrigerator water and ice dispensor is hooked into our RO system.

But that includes all the liquid from other foods too.  My pediatrician told me to offer milk at meals and water at all snack or other thirsty times.  And that if he/she was peeing (with pale urine and little smell) and pooping (at least once every other day) normally, the water intake was ok.  He also told me you really can't give a toddler too much water.  They usually stop before they have had "too much".

 

The key sign probably is urine that is dark yellow and smells bad.  Definitely need more hydration then.
