Pure water is a covalent compound as hydrogen and oxygen are tightly held together. Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity too. So no ions are present.

When salts are added or ionic substances or impurities are added, they help water molecules dissociate into H+ and OH- ions. In that case water becomes ionic compound in solutions.
