The only reason it needs the high compression is so the metal makes solid contact for proper heat transfer. If you don't use metal and just use water then it should be ok. However you would still need some pressure on the other side to whatever you are cooling and it might collapse the TEC if there is nothing on the hot side to support it. Not sure how strong TECs are.
