Check your cubemap and look here [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Water_%28shader%29"]https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Water_%28shader%29[/URL]

Im using the water as func_water_analog , is that ok ?

[url=https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Func_water_analog]The wiki says[/url] the only two materials to render correctly as a func_water_analog is nature/water_movingplane and nature/water_dx70 materials.

This is ostensibly because of how the material effects on the more complex water shaders require static brushes, so they can optimize what's visible to the water surface. 
A moving water surface would break this effect, so therefore full water shaders are unusable on a moving surface.

So yeah, that's probably your issue.

No, water shouldn't be tied to anything unless it's moving.

Also, check for leaks.

I removed the func_water_analog , but the water reflection is still wierd... And which texture should i use

Have you placed cubemaps and ran buildcubemaps in console?

Either way, try replacing it with another water texture and see if you get the same reflection result.

Still the same after executing buildcubemaps and also changing textures

also, heres the compile log :

Yeah, you have a leak to say the least. You can try and find and fix this leak by clicking the [b]Map[/b] tab on the top bar, and then click [b]Load Pointfile[/b]. This will generate a red line in Hammer leading to your leak(s). Make sure to unload the pointfile before compiling again. If you have multiple leaks, it may take various fixes/compiles to find/fix all of them.

For future reference, run your compile logs through the [url=http://www.interlopers.net/errors/]Interlopers Error Finder[/url]. It'll tell you about/how to fix any errors in your map.

Still broken .. when i load the map , the reflection is ok , but after some seconds seems that the Reflection loads and brake the water .

If you've fixed the leak and the reflection is still bad...

Make sure you haven't placed reflective water on two or more different heights in Hammer, or at an angle. Source only allows for 1 height of reflective water. The water can be anywhere, but its surface all has to line up at the same height in the side and front views, otherwise reflections won't work. (This includes func_reflective_glass entities too.)

[GreenPepper]

Cubemaps are actually generating for you? For me after executing buildcubemaps in console, it appears to reset to default (running on the EP2 build).

[Giraffen93]

There were [B][I]a lot[/I][/B] of leaks in the map, and filling those solves the problem.
