My RO system does require 250V, so the generator has to run, when it is turned on. Well, when it is working again. So, the distiller 120v requirement is solved already. The distiller units I looked at can make minimum 4 gallons/day, but there are larger ones, which can produce much more. I am not sure, if I agree with your statement on the production. My 1 gallon distiller creates 1 gallon distilled water. There is no loss there. The residue at the bottom is very little and easy to clean. Of course, that is tap water, so salt water will be different. However, the volume should not be less. I think.
