I installed buryflex along with direct burial control cables last year.
I learned that it is best to directly bury the cables without conduit.
Water from condensation will eventually fill the conduit even if rain
doesn't get in. Possibly a different story in low humidity areas, I
suppose, but I am in VT. I have actually seen humidity fill multiple
vertical pipes 2 feet high with condensation.

I've been keeping rainfall numbers and reporting them to rainlog.org
for 11 years. My last measurable rain was 0.02 inches on Sept 14. The
total for this year is 7.74 inches. If I want my conduit filled with
water I need to use a garden hose :-)

2) All conduits will fill with water. That is their NATURAL state unless
you specifically and effectively mitigate it. At any time other than
first
installed, filled with water is their most probable state.
