Yep. Very hot, maybe it's boiling over. It doesn't need to be near that hot, right?Is the water hot coming out of the pipe be careful as it might be
You need to make sure the immersion heater is turned off and electrically isolated. What you have now is a recipe for disaster and needs to be stopped. Not long ago here in Taunton a toddler died because the immersion heater thermostat had failed, the immersion heater continued to supply energy to the water and after a while it began to boil and vent over. The plastic cold water storage tank became hot and failed, resulting in near boiling water pooring through the ceiling and on to a sleeping toddler below.
The immersion heater thermostat has probably failed. Electrically isolate it and have an engineer check and replace what’s needed.Sounds like good advice. I'll be turning that off
