For c=0 (bulk water) we find a first order liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT). For c>0 our simulations are consistent with a LLPT line ending in two critical points at low and high pressure P. For c=25% we find a dramatic decrease of compressibility K_T, thermal expansion coefficient \\alpha_P, specific heat C_P at high P and low temperature T. Surprisingly, the effect is present also for c as low as 2.4%.
