Hi Patricia,
I use a 9 volt battery connected to two fine silver rods 2.5mm diameter by 
about 80 mm long. 
Put the rods in 250 ml distilled water for about 1 hour and you will have 
something useful. the 
rods need to be close about 15mm apart but must not touch each other. Swirl or 
stir with the 
rods every 10 minutes or so. 

Refinements: you could get yourself a millampmeter and check the current flow. 
For the 
above rods the current should be about 1 milliamp. Alter this by changing the 
distance 
between the rods; but not closer than say 12 mm. The current will be very low 
at the 
beginning of the process if the the distilled water is good. If the current is 
high, 1 ma or more 
then the distilled water is too conductive, or there is soap or other 
contamination. 

Have fun,
Tony Moody
