when there is nothing else and its really cold then why notIt does and the cheapo home brand stuff is cheaper than the proper screen wash
I can get a litre for about 1.75 ish if needed i wouldnt drink it myself but its available, the better stuff is about 3 quid for a bottle

It's a rebranded device called alphatherm in the US.. except it's £50 there
You could order it from amazon us.. or how about getting a length of nozzle hose and wrapping it around a rad pipe ten times. Cheap and should work kinda similiar.
You can also get heated washer jets, don't know if they just stop the freezing up or are hot enough to heat the fluid though.

Two thoughts
Are ya sure it weren't the washer nozzle frozen up?
What strength was yer mixture?
Frozen nozzles is a fair bet. Guess I need to get a hair dryer on them.
Don't know mix strenght, just chucked half a litre on concentrate in it, but the tank water is not frozen.

I got a heatshot last year from a mate who never used it. Fitted to the 110 no problem. 55 C hot water all the time. BUT..................
You still have to use a decent amount of screenwash to prevent water freezing on windscreen once its cooled.
If using to de-ice windscreen lift wipers out of way first otherwise you'll knacker the wiper blades in no time as they move as soon as you squirt the fluid and activate the pump.

Range Rovers have heated washer jets
I'm sure a man of your skills could retro fit these?

If its freezing you haven't mixed it properly ,that's what winter screen wash is ,a screen wash that doesn't freeze if mixed properly no need for fancy pipe work gadgets lol

If the jets are frozen whatever you heat in the washer bottle is going to make no difference then as is a million miles away down the pipe

That's why I suggested heated jets from a Range Rover
A quick flash with de ice/ hot water,unfrozen mixture and your on your way no alterations no extra things to go wrong
