Close to 5 gallons, I guess I should allow more time. I was messing with it last night and was adding hot water to a mostly full bath and it was increasing pretty well, about 4* for every big glass full of hot water I added (my faucet gets pretty close to boiling). Good method to keep in mind if I want it to start out hot while I'm there, I'll make note of what time I start the heating remotely today and what it looks like by the time I get home
