if you are drinking water from municipal corporation than water will not lose minerals. but if some water plant is doing extra filtration than there is chances than they lose the extra minerals. losing the minerals cause weakness. because some salts are present in drinking water which are essential in day to day activity. so you should change the water for some time for drinking purpose. if your weakness improves with this change in water than the minerals are deficient. than permanantly swtich to that water.
