Which will corrode more quickly a pipe that carries hot water or one that carries cold water?

A pipe carrying hot water will generally corrode more quickly than one carrying cold water. The higher temperature of the hot water can accelerate the corrosion process by making the metal more reactive and causing it to deteriorate faster over time.


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.


Why is the water from the cold faucet brown and rusty?

Brown and rusty water from a cold faucet can be caused by sediment buildup in the pipes, especially if the water has been sitting for a while. It could also indicate corrosion of old pipes. Running the water for a few minutes can help clear out any buildup, but if the issue persists, it may be a sign of deeper pipe problems that require professional inspection.
