OK, I've spent about half an hour researching these things, which were all new to me. Like you, I was skeptical right from the start, and nothing I read has changed my mind. A few details:

Pi-water looks to be completely unsubstantiated, and not worth dignifying by going into the details. I've provided links to my references.

I found many less search results with the phrase "diamond water," but there is a "NANOpure Diamond Water Purification System" which appears to be the brand name of a legitimate line of water *filters,* not a kind of water... nothing hocus-pocus. Interesting that it has the "nano" in the name, so maybe that's what you saw somewhere.

That brings me to "nano water," which appears to be just as ridiculous as "Pi water." (More links, below) It seems to be someone's semi-clever but bogus way of attaching themselves to the very legitimate, exciting and relatively new field of nanotechnology.

*Bilge water* is more like it, from everything I found. I don't doubt these things actually "exist", in that someone is labeling bottles of water with names to take advantage of suckers, but no, they evidently (and unsurprisingly) don't do anything special but empty your wallet. They even make Evian, Dasani, Aquafina and others look reasonable, which I never thought I'd say! (You can see my rant about that in another answer, regarding bottled water.)

Stick to plain ol' tap water for your health.

Glad to see skepticism in your question... it will serve you well in today's gullible world.

By the way, welcome to Yahoo! Answers.
