Just wanted to know how do you deliver hot water on a freezing cold pane of glass without the glass cracking?

Start in the center so the heat travels outwards ;D

Only had 3 UPVC sealed windows completely shatter out of their frames so far. ;D

I'm really going to show how stupid I really am..do you really break/crack glass with a hot system?

Sorry to sound silly.

Cheers
Dave.

To be honest, I rarely turn the temp down any more. Even in the middle of winter it'd be 40 degrees C or so. 

I find heat loss through the hose automatically adjust the temp for me,.. the colder the day the more heat is lost before the water gets to the brush!

Oh the Mpemba effect  ;D.
  But it does say hot water CAN freeze quicker, not does. There are too many different scenarios to be certain either way.
  Don`t know how wfp systems are affected though.
 Interesting all the same, or I`m very sad. Speaking of which Jeremy Kyle`s on.

I don`t think that`s due to the hot water freezing though.
