Welcome aboard Orv and Tina! I imagine Ken or other 'pup users will chime in soon enough, but I suspect that you've got pretty pure distilled water, which means it takes a while to get enough silver into solution to get much current at all to flow. Once it gets started, then the process will go until the conductivity of the sol reaches the setpoint of the auto-shutoff.
If that's over 12 hours, as Tina experienced, so be it. One way you can jumpstart future batches is to 'seed' them with a slosh of the previous batch. This raises the initial conductivity of the water without contaminating it with anything you don't want. The current will get to its proper limit very quickly then, and the shut- off will be reached after a shorter and pretty consistent time period. I've always used one or another home-built generator, so I don't have experience with all the Cadillac features on these fancy gizmos <grin>, but that would be my guess. The unit I use gives me a quart in about 12 hours. I just let it run over night, usually. It's circuit is nothing more sophistcated than a resister to limit the current. Be well!
