I dont recomend the use of any Bottled water with Mineral water or Spring water on the label. Both of these contain just this.. minerals.. and its these minerals that are dangerous to a marine tank.

Far better to use RO water as you can be sure of its purity then.

As for skimmers... Its not essential.. If you use a mud system then a skimmer is not needed. Of course you need a refugium of Sump to use such a filtration method but a skimmer is not required for tis type of system.
