Now thats a very good question.
The  quality we are all looking for originates from the purest distilled
water, the best quality silver electrodes and a good well designed
electronic gadget. Most people will be using water from the health food
shop without knowing how it was prepared, there are several ways to get
distilled water.
So what is distilled water?
Essentially it is produced finally from dry steam.  Essentially it is
prepared from uncontaminated water.  A distillation sets out to remove all
the salts of minerals in the water  and this is best achieved through a
silver pipe (other metals can be used).At boiling point most of the gases
are also removed but will be further adopted back into the water at a later
date.  To remove them it is necessary to bump the water in a second
distillation, close off all vents and allow the water to totally cool
without oxygen.  To avoid further reabsorption of gases can only be
achieved (so far as I know) by using straight from the closed off
receptacle or by preparing and using instantly.  So while pure water is
obtainable, it is only a temporary thing. In order to set up parameters of
preparation of a colloidal silver that can be duplicated and duplicated
would need the same conditions each time.
The electrodes
Essentially pure or as near pure as possible, probably 99.99% is
attainable. They should be quite straight. They should be cleaned with wet
baking soda after each use.
The electronics
need to be achieved by someone in that business.
So really, it all comes back to the water so far as I am concerned its
quality is difficult to constantly reproduce except under most stringent
and time consuming controls. How to get the right ppm can only be done by
ascertaining the ppm of your first brew and then duplicating the process
and the time exactly each time. Theres a lot of guess work if you have no
access to the right apparatus.  
How long?
Even that will depend on the quality of your electronic device but also how
much are you making at once. A glassful?, a litre?   Lets say four minutes
for a large glassful should produce the level you desire.  Anyone else got
something to contribute?   I think these basics really do need cleaning up.
A message I got some weeks ago from Jim Bare referred me to Schauberger and
a comment that most distilled waters available are collected from large
turbine processes.  Hope thats some help. Might bring in other ideas on
this kind of control.
