I tried beet juice to deice solar panels on a mountain top once.  Had a hot 
water tank full of it.  Pressurized it with CO2.  Remote controlled nozzles.  
It worked the first time.  But yeah, it plugged up everything.

Have you considered beet juice instead of water? Or will that muck up the 
innards

Thinking of perhaps a heat exchanger dumping engine heat via the water jacket 
or exhaust into the water tank.  Thinking of an air purge that would blow out 
the hose every time they are done using it.  Perhaps some kind of propane 
heater to warm up the water tank.

  Looked at heated hoses but most of those are for the spray foam industry.  
Might work.  

  Any other ideas?  How do they do it in your part of the world Colin?
