Raw water? Is this some sort of sales pitch....the product to hit the supermarket shelves in the near future?

Mineral content affects taste. Spas around mineral springs touting health benefits have been around at least since the 19th century in the USA.

I can't find a link, I remember something about a lithium spring spa where people went to for depression. Somewhere in New England.

Lithia Spring Water bottle, 1888
Lithia water is defined as a type of mineral water characterized by the presence of lithium salts (as lithium carbonate or lithium chloride).[1] Natural lithia mineral spring waters are rare, and there are few commercially bottled lithia water products.
Between the 1880s and World War I, the consumption of bottled lithia mineral water was popular.[2] One of the first commercially sold lithia waters in the United States was bottled at Lithia Springs, Georgia, in 1888.[3] During this era there was such a demand for lithia water that there was a proliferation of bottled lithia water products, however only a few were natural lithia spring waters. Most of the bottled lithia water brands added lithium bicarbonate to spring water and called it lithia water. With the advent of World War I and the formation of the new US government food safety agency, mineral water bottlers were under scrutiny. The new agency posted large fines against mineral water bottlers for mislabeled, misrepresented, and adulterated products.[4] These government actions and their publicity along with public works that made clean tap water readily accessible caused the American public to lose confidence and interest in bottled mineral water.[4]
Lithia water contains various lithium salts, including the citrate. An early version of Coca-Cola available in pharmacies' soda fountains called Lithia Coke was a mixture of Coca-Cola syrup and lithia water. The soft drink 7Up was originally named "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda" when it was formulated in 1929 because it contained lithium citrate. The beverage was a patent medicine marketed as a cure for hangover. Lithium citrate was removed from 7Up in 1948.[5]

Lithium is useful in the treatment of bipolar disorder.[150] Lithium salts may also be helpful for related diagnoses, such as schizoaffective disorder and cyclic major depression. The active part of these salts is the lithium ion Li+.[150] They may increase the risk of developing Ebstein's cardiac anomaly in infants born to women who take lithium during the first trimester of pregnancy.[151]
Lithium has also been researched as a possible treatment for cluster headaches.[152]

There is a small town and spa called Lithia Springs in western Georgia. It was a big health spa for quite a while. And, as you linked, Lithium does have benefits for some specific mental problems. And then there is Warm Springs spa in central Georgia that was often visited by FDR supposedly to help with his polio. For some reason it was assumed at the time that warm mineral springs would cure any ailment.

'Mineral water' - nothing new - doesn't appear to have the same connotations as 'Raw Water'

Given the last 50 years of culture it is reality easy to invent a cliché or word or saying, and attract enough followers to make a living.
If it were not the sense of right and wrong beaten into me by grammar school nus I'd invent something and get rich. There is oxygenated water that purports to ad O2 to the system through the stomach.
How about organic water? All natural. No un-natural additives.
Maybe raw water simply means natural and unprocessed. Maybe it means nothing at all.

Do they realise once they boil the water to make coffee, tea or soup, or anything else, it's no longer raw water?

Well whataya know.
Drinking raw water in many areas and you get life threatening diarrhea. Ancient humans drank raw water. Natural selection would select for those resistant to pathogens.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_water
Raw water is water found in the environment that has not been treated and does not have any of its minerals, ions, particles, bacteria, or parasites removed. Raw water includes rainwater, ground water, water from infiltration wells, and water from bodies like lakes and rivers.
Raw water is generally unsafe for human consumption due to the presence of contaminants. A major health problem in some developing countries is use of raw water for drinking and cooking.[1]
Without treatment, raw water can be used for farming, construction or cleaning purposes.[2] Farmers use it for watering their crops or give to livestock to drink, storing it in man-made lakes or reservoirs for long periods of time. Construction industries can use raw water for making cement or for damping down unsealed roads to prevent dust rising. Raw water can also be used for flushing toilets and washing cars, as well as any other purposes that do not require it to be consumed by humans. Water in this form is considered raw, as opposed to water which has been treated before consumption, such as drinking water or water which has been used in an industrial process, such as waste water.
Raw water flushing is a method of water conservation where raw water is used for flush toilets.

You should also sell condensed air.

Are we also biologically adapting to all the crap in the air from burning coal? I'm surprised SCROTUS hasn't used that argument yet.

Heavy water is the future, just think of the potential health benefits of heavy water.

BOC make condensed air. They typically split it into separate fractions (Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon, plus some trace gasses) before selling it though.
