No. Pure water isn't a very good conductor, but it's not an insulator either. Water with dissolved minerals ranges from an indifferent to pretty decent conductor ... not as good as most metals, but not too shabby.

Is distilled water a good insulator?

Distilled water is not a good insulator as it still contains some ions that can conduct electricity. It has a low conductivity compared to tap water but is not a perfect insulator.


Is dirty water a good insulator?

Dirty water is not a good insulator because impurities in the water can increase its conductivity, allowing electricity to flow more easily through it. Pure water, on the other hand, is a poor conductor of electricity and can act as an insulator.

No because water is a good conductor of heat in comparison to wool.


Can water be used as an insulator?

Pure water is an insulator, but in the "real world", water usually has impurities - notably ions - that actually make it a good conductor. This is theory; I don't think it is practical to use water as an insulator.
