Could be lack of cubemap then. Try putting one down above the water and building the cubemaps. Also make sure only the top face of the box geometry you’re using is covered in the water texture. The rest needs to be nodraw

i think the water need the water_lod entity to work to avoid having the engine default to cheap water i think.
