Pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; but most natural water has some ions, that help conductivity.

Is water an insulator or conductor?

Water is a poor conductor of electricity due to the low concentration of ions present in it. However, impurities or dissolved minerals in water can increase its conductivity to some extent. Generally, water is considered more as an insulator than a conductor compared to metals or salts.

"Pure water" is an insulator, but real water has impurities which if ionized make it a conductor.


What conducts electricity when mixed with water?

Water in general is a good conductor of electricity. Anything wet will therefore be a good conductor (this makes it dangerous to get certain things wet).Actually, pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; the fact that water usually IS a good conductor is due to diverse substances dissolved in water, such as salts - the ions make the water a good conductor.
