Water disappears/can't fix

I have been reading forums for hours now trying to find a fix for the water.
i have a terrain square size of 16 to double my area before land looping. this means the water must be 4096 4096 to reach the other side of itself and loop. but the position wants to be -1024 -1024, and the edge of the yellow box is running down the center of the play area. so, although the water is infinate looking, if you look north and you are more then half way up the map, the water disappears because the yellow box isn't in view. if i move the water's position to -2048 -2048 everything is great. but after you save and reopen, the position is at -1024 -1024.
if there is a correct way, or a fix, i would love to get it. i've seen several unsolved posts about water, so if there is a simple fix, it would be handy posted in an easily accessed area.
thanks

Btw: -2048 is never saved. If you try to move the water with the axes movement on the node, it will jump back to -1024 -1024 directly.
