Water
Type:	Fluid
First appearance:	"Help Wanted" (as part of the ocean) "Reef Blower" (as a separate entity) "Tea at the Treedome" (as a drink)

Water is a chemical substance that is the main constituent of the Pacific Ocean. It can also be treated as a beverage if purified for consumption. It appears in every episode of the series beginning with "Help Wanted," but first appears in "Reef Blower" in individuality and "Tea at the Treedome" as a drink.

Description

Water is a transparent, occasionally blue fluid liquid. It is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms. It is vital for all known forms of life, even though it provides no calories or organic nutrients. Its chemical formula is H₂O, meaning that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by covalent bonds.

Role in series

Water appears in every episode of the series and especially plays a vital role in helping the residents of Bikini Bottom and the Pacific Ocean in general stay alive, as they would dehydrate if the ocean's water was removed and replaced with pure oxygen.

There exists a device called water helmets to assist sea creatures in breathing while in Sandy's treedome, an filled dome residence in Bikini Bottom in which Sandy Cheeks lives. Sandy herself regularly wears a helmet and astronaut suit when outside in order to survive since she is a mammal. In addition, water is also shown as a drink.

"Help Wanted"

Water is the main component of the Pacific Ocean which is introduced in this episode.

"Reef Blower"

SpongeBob sucks up all the water out of the ocean with his reef blower, causing Squidward to dehydrate, before the vacuum explodes and essentially restores the water in the ocean.

"Tea at the Treedome"

SpongeBob enters Sandy's treedome and immediately dehydrates due to the lack of water in the environment. He tries to absorb all the water in Birdy's bath fountain only to be pushed away by him. Sandy then puts the flowers SpongeBob brought her in a vase of ice-cold water before preparing the tea and cookies. SpongeBob eyes the vase and continuously tries to convince himself that he doesn't need the water, taking Patrick's advice to stick his pinkie finger out as a symbol of strength, but the temptations start to weigh heavily on him before SpongeBob gives up and ultimately drinks all the water out of the vase, declaring himself a quitter. Patrick runs in to restore SpongeBob's strength, only for him too to dehydrate in the treedome.

Once Sandy is finished making the tea and cookies, she reacts frightened upon seeing a shriveled-up sponge and starfish on the ground. To compensate, she creates water helmets for SpongeBob and Patrick to help them breathe while in her treedome, serving them their tea through the helmets as well.

SpongeBob is the one who ends up taking a bath since he fell in a mud puddle after falling off a tree which he mistook Gary to be in.
