"Pass water" is a colloquial expression that means to urinate. While this phrase is commonly used in spoken English, it is not considered appropriate for formal or written communication. It would be more appropriate to use the term "urinate" in written English. Example: "I'll be back in a minute, I need to pass some water." (This sentence would be appropriate in a casual conversation but would not be suitable for a written report or email.).
