the claim

Water damages electronic circuits mainly because dissolved ions in tap water make it conductive, which creates short circuits and enables corrosion, while pure water conducts poorly.

Is it true that water damages electronic circuits mainly because dissolved ions in tap water make it conductive, which creates short circuits and enables corrosion, while pure water conducts poorly?

Yes. One electronics Q&A states that impurities in water conduct electricity and corrode the materials electronics are made from, causing unintended shorts and direct destruction, while pure water is a poor conductor and not inherently damaging. A peer-reviewed pipe-corrosion study adds that higher ionic content accelerates corrosion, covering only that half of the claim.
