I don't know to be honest.

Might be worth spending a few £ on a thermometer and finding out, eg a
cooking thermometer will do. Whether the water temp is 50C, 60C, or
80C, each leads to a different course of action.

Just seems odd that the pipework hasn't been altered, and it used to be
fine before new timer & thermostat

Better to work out whether your new setup is going to give you what
you want.

Anyway why the need to heat a whole cylinder with electricity, what's
wrong with a gravity fed dribble...? Seriously though, it would be
better heated by a gas boiler.
