Half inch pipe holds roughly 1/100 of a gallon per foot. 10 gallons would be hundreds of feet of piping.

- pixxel 2y agoThe only truly smart thing in this thread.
- D13Fd 2y agoI think the 10 gallons is probably about right. People start the sink or shower going and then go do something else, wasting much more hot and cold water than necessary.
- tzs 2y agoYou can stop most of the hot water waste in that situation with one of these [1]. It's a valve that you put ahead of the shower head. When it senses that the water has warmed up to 95℉ it reduces the flow to a trickle until you turn a lever to restore full flow.
