I really wouldn't give them anything to drink that isn't plain water, and this isn't.
 
What is the reason for wanting to give this? Are you somewhere the tap water isn't safe to drink? I personally always followed "if in doubt, leave it out". Usually flavoured water is flavoured with sugars or chemicals so personally I see no benefit for piggies (or humans for that matter though I am not a fan of plain water myself)
 
I was just curious because I have hard water and it's got a lot of calcium in it sadly and my mom drinks this
 
In addition to the above - the label doesn't say how much calcium is in it, so it might be just as high as your tap water, and the flavourings might actually put your piggies off drinking it.
If your hard water is really an issue for you, I would suggest basic bottled spring water, checking the label for calcium content, or getting a filter jug.
