Water filled windows

I came across this and thought it was a really interesting idea:   https://newatlas.com/good-thinking/water-filled-glass-windows/

It does assume you have too much solar gain in winter.  I have my doubts that's true for many houses. The water would also make conducted losses greater (they use Argon for a good reason). So you would need to have enough solar gain in the daytime to make up for increased losses at night and when the suns not shining/too weak. I suppose you could use Argon and water in triple glazing.

 

.. because the sealed system doesn't allow oxygen or micro-organisms to enter, algae shouldn't grow on the glass.

 

You could dose the water but who hasn't seen brown water come out of a sealed heating system?

Yes, it does look to be more relevant to warmer climes; especially so if they provide shading by turning “radiator brown” ?
