Thinner? You have some viscosity data to back this up?


Yep

Hmm.... Fresh water @60F, 1.13 Centistokes, sea water @? 1.15 cSt, looks like fresh water is in fact thinner?

Pretty small difference though, plus a huge variation with temperature, surely this is not the explanation?
Instead of the insipid one word repartee, why not be a little less obtuse and simply provide us with your explanation for
the problem at hand?

The "thinner" water is able to permeate smaller viods and set up the
initial reactions for the beginnings of true osmosis?
I'm not an expert, just an interested bystander.
