When turning on a hot water tap how much cold water is lost?
That depends upon the length and diameter of the pipe connecting to the hot water tank. Also, the greater the distance, the more hot/cold mixing will occur, resulting in even greater water loss. Most copper household plumbing pipe is 1/2" in diameter, and hot water pipes may range from 10' to 80', depending on angles and turns in the plumbing. An 80' pipe will hold about 2 gallons of water. This is water that was heated in the water heater, but upon setting in the pipe gave up all, or most, of its heat to its surroundings.
