Do all immersions have a thermostate attached to them,my immersion heats the water so hot that it would almost burn you in the shower.

My immersion has a thermostat but when I have a shower soon after it cuts out I need to mix about 50/50 hot and cold so it seems like it's normal that the thermostat lets the water get to a pretty high temperature such that the hot water would be too hot to use by itself at least for a couple of hours.

The stat is normally set at 55o ish, hot enough to wash grease from plates, far to hot to wash/shower with unless mixed with cold, if your getting burnt i would question weather your shower mixer is thermostatic and if so, is the stat working.
