I would still be interested in what is driving this desire to have different temperature water at different times ??
A mistaken belief that it will save enough energy to be worthwhile, would be my guess.

We can store hot water at temperatures at less than 65C.It may be worth noting that the maximum storage temperature of water in USA is set at 50 degrees with no increase in legionnaires. The evidence on which this was based was rejected by Joint Technical Committee for Plumbing Standards but Australia has similar guidelines.
Of course it depends how big your cylinder is & how much hot water you use but I get away with heating my one once a day, just before most is used during the morning ablutions. It therefore sits for most of the time with only a small amount of hot water in the top section loosening heat because of the difference in temperature between it & the air in the cupboard.How big is your cylinder & how much hot water do you use in the morning?
The likelihood is you will not be using all the higher temperature water that is floating at the top of the cylinder, when you come to heat the water again to the lower temperature it will simple be the lower section.
