I agree...this is the correct answer.
We had a guy did a similar thing only he jammed hose into fresh water fill tank, got distracted by his child. Only when he heard loud popping noises did he run and shut off water.

Stupid..you betcha
But they paid.

Its a stupid accident and insurance does pay for stupid unless they can prove intent and then its fraud..no pay..you get charged.
This person (the OP) should be reimbursed for sure in this case.
