The water what I'm use for drinking was tested for its mineral contents. pH is 8.3 and it fails for acidity, alkalinity, Calcium, magnesium, nitrates, sulphates, chlorides. its conductivity is 500.

If the water has a pH of 8.3, then it is alkaline. Without having access to the sample, I can't tell you what is dissolved in it. In order to remove minerals from water, you could filter the water. If the mineral particles are very small, the filter would have to be very fine. It might be possible to deliberately add an additional chemical to the water in order to form a precipitate with the mineral you want to remove, resulting in larger particles that are easier to remove, but you must make sure that the amount of chemical you add is very carefully calculated and measured so that it does not itself become another contaminant.

The cleanest water you can have is called deionized water.

The main method to make deionized water is to run the water through ion exchange filters that will remove all of the ions.
