Had my pure freedom heater up full tilt today, and had no problems. Still warm 80 metres away.

Well worth the money, or if you can get away with filling locally and with your insurance, then a fog wash is an ace piece of kit.

sooo jealous, def get one for next winter my only issue is does the water freeze quicker once its left the brush for example once its on the ground. the reason i ask is because i do a lot of commercial and if it freezes outside a shop front i could find myself in trouble, i am insured for 5 million but dont want the hassle i salt everywhere as it is but don't want to add to make it more hazardous

I only work on domestic. I had to drop some salt earlier this morning. I would've thought that if you laid some on the main footpaths you should be ok. I did have some problems with ice, but only up until 9am.

There are many factors to consider; it's not a straight yes or no, but hot water can freeze quicker than cold. How this affects your work is another matter.
The most important thing to remember is, that water will freeze when it reaches freezing point  :-\.

water still freezes on ground when using hot, you are better applying salt before starting to clean because if you salt after cleaning the water has already frozen, i think it is only a matter of time before a window cleaner gets sued for creating a slip hazzard
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt
