I have that same one (or one that looks just like it) that we used last winter (I didn't see any warning about using it on hoses on mine).
I didn't have any issues with it, but it was only below freezing a dozen or so nights (maybe 8 that were in the teens), and rarely below 30 once the sun was up.
