Wouldn't this make the water really hot, especially if not in use, since there will always be water trapped in the lines. Also, spraying hot water on an ice cold windshield might not be the best idea...but then again I might be wrong. Just a thought. For me, antifreeze Windshield washer fluid is the best and safest way to go and a cover for the windshield while it is parked outside to prevent it from freezing.

These generally only heat the fluid when you activate the sprayer, any remaining fluid would just cool down after. As for spraying on the cold glass, you can go to a certain temperature, not that I know off hand what that is, but I'd have to presume these are below that temp. At least I would hope anyway. <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... /blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />
