The real problem with water is not it's
conductivity. High power
tube transmitters have used distilled water in the past as it's a
really poor conductor if kept clean.
They still do as it's harmless, you can make it on site and it's
cheap.
Resistivity of > 10Mohm/cc is practical, > 20Mohm/cc is doable and
< 2Mohm/cc is too poor to use.
It's strange to watch water cascade out from behind the panels of
a transmitter and wonder if there's enough water left to finish the
transmission.
