I would say unnecessary confusion. Because you don't need to quotes a greek word that suppose to say exactly the same word as the Holy Spirit. Just say Holy Spirit and grab a quote from the Bible to help with the point. Using greek words that you can't fine in the Bible cause confusion. Its better to keep things simple.What is the difference between Paraclete and the Holy Spirit?
I find it useful to distinguish between the term Paraclete and the term Holy Spirit.I would say unnecessary confusion.

Ok, but as for me I'll keep things simple as it is written the word of God, because as we no, Paul says "...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12).I find it useful to distinguish between the term Paraclete and the term Holy Spirit.

I would just like to add more verses in regard to the "water is a symbol of cleansing" interpretation. In John 4:10, Jesus said - “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water" and in John 4:14, we read - but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life and in John 7:37-39, we read - On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. The Holy Spirit is the source of living water and spiritual cleansing.Jesus spoke to Nicodemus in John 3:
What is born of water?
