Does it take flowing water or only have a reservoir? Water cooled tubes needed distilled water or better. Very pure water is a good insulator. If this needs distilled water you could not just hook it up to a garden hose. There is also the rubbish in the water that gets deposited on anything, like the crust in a kettle.

I have a water-cooled Bird load that can take a kW for long enough to measure, when it¡¯s dry. I¡¯ve never run it water-cooled and have tested many L-4/L-7/LK-500/SB-220 type amps over the years. ?If I ran it water-cooled, it could take 2500W, CCS.
