I believe 'water' siginifies water baptism, 'spirit' siginifies Spirit baptism, and the 'blood' signifies the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as the atonement. These three agree in one in the sense they signify the same thing - our redemption. They point to it, mark it out, apply it, represent it. They are the sign of redemption, if you will. As in another place it says
'Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.' And again
'And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.'
That's my take on it, anyway.
