There used to be at least one high power transmitter, I think a TV or
radiostation transmitter that had a water cooled anode. Internally cooled.
The high voltage was in contact with the water.
It used glass tubing into and out of the transmitter tube. There was a
water ion meter that showed if the water was picking up any metal ions from
the tube. When it hit a certain number you would have to change out the
water because it was slowing becoming conductive.
But yeah, pure water is a pure insulator.

Wouldn't there be a dead short across the wet terminals?
....I suppose all the heat would go into the water in that case.

Their vent valves are one way check valves so it is probably just fine.

I had an equipment box that got completely submerged due to a water main
break. All the equipment like routers and UPS are toast, but would the
100+ AH AGM Batteries still be good? I haven't had a chance to put a
voltmeter or anything on them yet, but could they be 'trusted' since they
were fully submerged for several hours?
