Water v.s. the water

Hello there. I have a couple of questions regarding the following two sentences:

(A) Don't keep water running.
(B) Don't keep the water running.

Q1 Are both correct in terms of grammar?
Q2 What's the difference between the two?

I think that (A) refers to "water in general," while (B) mentions "certain specific water," for example, "the water you are using right now." Is that right?
