I have asked the legal question in uk.legal.moderated : if I draw the
problem to the Public Water supply company - do they have a legal
obligation to check the water supply quality and check the "gunge" to
ascertain what it is.

Of course not. It is mould growing inside your machine because of
detergents you are using. Why on earth should the water company be
expected to do anything about it?

Perhaps you would care to read what I said again:
"The only thing flowing through the machine to that point is mains
cold water" Most will have worked it out that the problem is before
there has been any mixing with detergent or conditioner.
Adam Funk and others understood plain English: why can't you?
I will ignore the rest of the **** you have posted as you obviously
have comprehension problems.

One thing you can be sure of is that Peter read and understood what you
wrote. He is correct.
Get your machine cleaned by someone who can reach the parts you can't.
And get that person to recommend how you can keep it clean in future.
Then pay them.
