Capillary rise depends on surface tension, gamma. If surface tension was 0, there would be no capillary rise. Soap decreases surface tension, but it’s not 0.

Oh nevermind then. I just looked it up and came across the so-called Rollin film. I don’t know if that only appears in helium or if superfluid water would be subject to that effect as well. I wonder how that would impact its behaviour.
