We did a hotel today or bits of it ware there were no paths was -2:5 so not that cold but as soon as the water went on the floor it froze solid , we were supposed to have done some gutter vaccing but the whole lot was frozen solid and the half round gutter was full to the top so couldn’t do that either ??? doing a softwashing job on a house tomorrow woman is adamant she wants it done regardless of the risk of ice , so will be using hot tank water , she has signed a disclaimer already as I said I felt it was unwise so will see how we get on with it , never used a hot hypo mix before ???Hot water isn't going to stop this though it will delay the freezing, those puddles will still be there and turn to ice whether it's within 10 seconds or 10 minutes, I get why you want hot water as this will enable you to get through your work but you aren't removing the risk of those puddles freezing.
The weather is back to normal as off tomorrow with daytime temperatures above freezing looks like it's getting above 10c down your way next week if I was you I'd still consider aquarium heaters safe, simple and less of a clart on because it only takes some clown to start messing on with a heater on a trolley when your away from the van and ?
