Pure water does conduct, although very poorly. Absolutely pure water has
a conductivity of .055 uS/cm.. Water in equilibrium with the carbon
dioxide in the air has a much higher, but still quite low conductivity.

Absolutely PURE water will not conduct electricity. Electrolytic
generators need electricity to pass through the water, so the water
needs something conductive in it before the silverpuppy or any EIS
machine can function. Because water is a solvent, given enough time it
will eventually absorb enough of some element– usually carbon from the
air, (as glass doesn’t dissolve and does not, itself, conduct) - and
then the ionization process starts working. You can add salt, or
baking soda, or an electrolyte to get things started.
