The temperature range of liquid water on Earth is 100 degrees.
The same range of bound water on Mars is 95 degrees.
If all the water on Mars were limited to a bound water cycle.
The maximum amount would be limited by the amount of perchlorates.
Are there enough perchlorates to contain an ocean?
Liquid water on Mars has 5 degree range.
Mars thermometer goes from -71 to 24 degrees
centigrade for bound water

It does not look like flowing water to me, more like seepage.
For the most part the water is chrystaline and dry to the touch.
The regolith contains half a percentage point of perchlorates.
You get it out by boiling it off at 24C or by plant expiration
in a greenhouse.

Perchlorates already contain water. Atmospheric water
sublimates off into outer space or ends up at poles as ice.
They stop all the water going away or all ending up at the poles.

I would speculate that dry perchlorates in dust clouds soak
up some atmospheric water and dry rain falls to the ground.
In the beginning and end of each day the perchlorate enters
a dew phase and passes from ice to liquid to chrystaline
to liquid and to ice. In summer some water is liberated from
the pole. That would describe a complete water cycle.
