They can help get people into hot water (7)

I believe the answer is:

geysers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'they' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for geysers that I've seen before include "Hot spouting springs" , "Hot water springs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
