hydrogen bonds are not an explicit term of the force field, but rather a
consequence of the specific geometry and charge distribution of molecules.
thus you cannot "turn them off".

changing the charges changes the water model and the balance between the LJ
and the Coulomb interactions. you would be modeling a different species.
