i know a few of you use hot water systems but on a very cold day surely there must be every chance that you could damage or crack double glazing  and the beading and how about single paned glass so i am not going to go hot yet untill am 100% sure not going to do any damage
shiney one

Dont turn it up so hot then you wont break the glass . All you need is warm water to keep you working in this cold weather that wont break the glass.

Been cleaning at quite hot water on upvc double glazing, had no problems. But turn it down on wooden frames double glazing and single glazing. Not running the risk there. I had my water on barely warm and I could hear the woodwork expand, kind of scary! Wouldn't imagine doing that with hot water.

Reviving my lcd thermometer on the pole idea but making it more sturdy so it doesn't break so easily. That way I at least know what temperature the water is.
