From the video and their web site, I got the impression that a large part of their present market is the transport industry.
Trucking companies are usually very aware of the maintenance costs of their fleets. If there were issues with critical components like water hoses that could leave their trucks stranded, I think they'd drop 'em like a hot rock.

Edit: I did a quick Google search, standard heater hose seems to be good for 300F or higher.
