I tend to lean towards Neil on this one.
Water and electricity don't mix well because of the conductivity of the water. Water by itself (distilled water) does not conduct electricity.
It is the Mineral content of the water that makes it conductive. Heavy metals and minerals in the water allow the electrons a path of flow.
DC current flow through water equals electrolysis. This will occur at any connection that isn't completely waterproof.
