Probably what happened is that the distilled water was so pure that very little current was being drawn. I have seen water so pure that even an 8 oz batch took 4 hours to draw .7 milliamps.
It's also possible that your batteries [you use batteries?] are nearly dead.

I've been away from making CS for a little while, and yesterday I decided to make up a batch. I took out my mason jar, swished some distilled water around to clean it out, and then used my Walgreen's distilled water for the CS. I don't have a Hanna tester yet (I'm working on that!), so I've been kind of gauging that it was "done" when the color was a little golden. Well, last night, I saw no visible change in color in FIVE HOURS of "cooking" (using the SOTA unit). I finally fell asleep, and woke up this morning to realize that I had left the unit running for twelve hours. The silver wires were "bearded," but the color is still pretty clear.
