Hygrometers HELP!...

I have three hygrometers. I have salt tested all of them and they all have their own story. Digitals are by Madelaine Inc.

First, digital #1, salt tested it and it was 8% low and 10 degrees low on the temp. It has now gotten better (64% with beads) in the last two weeks. Can they take this long to stableize? Temp is still low.

Second, digital #2 salt tested it for approx. 18 hours and it says 71% and 65 degrees. I'll keep it in there to see if it gets closer to 75% but how long should it take?

Third, analog - salt testing it with #2 and it reads 79% after 18 hours. I know these are not too reliable but what is its prognosis? Should I add more water to the salt (distilled of course)?

This stuff seems simple enough but I am having a difficult time with it. Perhaps patience is the key.

Thanks
