There are so many different qualities ("degrees of purity") of bottled waters. I would say most would not be good and will have many dissolved solids or sodium for taste.
Just my .02 I don't have much experience. I would buy an RODI unit. 100-150 shipped on eBay.
My first RO unit 11 years ago was $350+

Some brands of bottled water are straight out of the city water supply. The source must be listed on the bottle and it will say something like "Source: City of _____" if that is the case.
While that certainly doesn't appear to be the case for the one you've shown, I thought I'd mention it for anyone who didn't know.

My Tank Thread
It looks OK to me based on what it says is in it, but you can't always know what is not listed. The potential for copper would be my biggest fear. It will add a little alkalinity, but that's only an issue if you made up a whole tank with it.

On the bottle it says TDS 155. RO/DI water should be 0. No way would I put that in my tank.
