Then linear time is completely irrelevant on all counts.
Everything is on an exponential curve and you have no idea where you started on it.
If you had a meter and plotted progress for a few batches, you'd know that.

Given the same water at the same temperature etc, doubling the size of the batch will more than double the time it takes.
How much more depends on how pure the water is.
If you start on the flat end of the curve with very pure water, it could take many many hours longer than double.

The oft told formula "1 PPM per minute" is utter hooey.
 That's [more like]  X PPM per minute, per minute [per minute, per ounce?]

...the green line
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

If you start at 1 [say uS conductivity], it takes 9 units of time [say hours] to get to 1000 [say 10]
If you start at 8 it takes 2  units of time to get to 1000

...probably over simplified and inexact and assuming something about physics and volume that might not be true, but for illustration... Double the volume, starting at 1 and it takes 36 [??] units of time to get to 1000 [at least 18 ]
Starting at 8, that's 4 [plus a little bit]  units of time to get to 1000

Making CS....that 1000 would be 10 or 20, whatever your target is "PPM" [..actually, units of conductivity as we can't measure PPM] but the time calculations hold [whatever they actually are, given that I made an assumption that volume makes things exponential too]

So, depending on the water quality, you get *at least* a 16 time unit difference on the low [pure] end and only a bit over twice the time unit difference on the higher [not so pure] end of a starting point, when you double the volume.

You didn't specify what generator you are using. I think that would make a difference.

    If I set up a generator with two gallons of distilled water in the
    reservoir, will it take ten hours to generate the nanoparticle CS
    or still only the five.  The only difference is that the reservoir
    holds two gallons or more.  I want to use it on the homestead and
    I have two college students this fall.
