Hi Barry, 
-
I work with a few high powered water cooled tube Xray 
units. We have in room chillers with redundant pumps 
about the size of a Harley motorbike. 
-
A mix of mostly pure water is sent through clear flex tube 
with internal braid, similar to the automotive type. The 
water is pretty much considered nonconductive.  We 
have an additive which keeps the water free from growing 
things. You can consider it similar to the chemicals you 
put in a waterbed for the same reason. 
-
Major requirements are steady flow and keeping the 
reservoirs full. It would seem more practical than a vapor 
system.

Not that I am likely to try it, but what is the trick with water cooling?
Is the water non-conductive, or do you isolate it some way.
What about vapor cooling? how that work?
Just curious.
