I have just unscrewed it, but there is no immersion stat underneath,
so I dont know whats going on..


There is usually a little pointer type device there to set the temp. It
may be you have a fixed temp immersion, in which case one would expect
it to be high enough.

Well, it gets very hot indeed if left on for an hour or two, but we
havent used it very much at all in the last 4-5 months, relying on
central heating to heat the water. I put on the immersion for a couple
of hours today to see if it would help, and there is hardly any of
that organic material coming from the taps now... much better. I
wonder why this happens though?
