I dont believe, he used this for the water thread experiment.
This needs more current.
I tried with deionized water, but my supply was too week. It should
deliver about 100µA.
Its a TV split diode flyback transformer driven by a selfbuild
electronics.
He writes here, he did not do the experiment himself:

Lets assume the electrical resistance of the water thread is some megaohm.
Then the current at 10 kV is some milliampere and the required power is
in the 50 to 100 Watt range.
I have read everything about this sometime ago and calculated the
expected resistance.
A resistance from some ten MegOhms upto 1 Gigaohm must be expected
It cannot work if the water does not conduct, because in this case the
electric field does not propagate over the thread.
Also there is a steady water flow from one glass into the other, caused
by the current. Without this it does not work.
There are many videos, in some it is visible, that the water thread is hot.
The experiment is fun, but I dont think it is a water anomaly.
