I thought deice boots "Broke up" ice, not really metlted it.  De-Ice boots
that inflate don't rely on the melting point of Ice.  Liquid De-Ice melts
the ice contacting the skin.  I supose the hot boots would do the same.

You might be able to turn the flow of water to the boots off.  This might
help the line boy.

I misunderstood - I assumed that you wanted to use the heat from the
coolant to *melt* the ice.   OTOH, why use water when you don't
have to worry as much when you get a small air leak with regular air
driven boots.
