A bucket heater will make a difference even when you're using a sprayer. Obviously not as dramatically as when the solution is being shower-fed, due the atomizing of the solution. But you'll still see some benefit. Bringing the temperature higher always contributes to the cleaning efficacy.
The old rule of thumb is that... "For every 18 degrees above 118 degrees, chemical activity doubles." That's a huge gain! You can see this on a simple level washing your hands when they're grubby, or washing a greasy pan. Cold soapy water barely works, but increasing the water temp even a few degrees warmer makes a tremendous difference in loosening the soil.
Get yourself a bucket heater and see for yourself how much better the cleaning results can be.
