With WFP I don't think there is a solution as anything added to the water could lessen the purity.  If there were a prolonged spell of freezing weather, I would temporarily ditch WFP and use traditional methods by mixing a decent load of screenwash into the water bucket.
IMO (though I doubt HSE would see it this way) this would constitute a "no reasonable alternative" situation.
