I spritz them with distilled water and just did a recharging two weeks ago, 4 spritzes per cylinder.

As my readings were still too low, between 60 and 65% rH, I augmented that with a newly charged standard humidifier. I know, that means that if the beads can hold the humidity, they will suck the water out of the standard humidifiers, but this works to bring the rH up to between 65 and 70% rH.

Have you salt tested your hygrometers?
