Hot water cylinder temperatures (to do with Legionella)

The standard advice across the UK internet is to heat water cylinders to between 60 and 65 degrees to be sure of avoiding Legionella.
Now if I heat the cylinder with Solar from the top (thermostat set to maximum) and with gas from the bottom, can I reduce the lower thermostat below 60 degree during months of good generation without Legionella risk?

I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".
