I would stick with the good old "Do not fix it if it ain't broke " rule.
But if you like to switch anyway, go gradually by 10% on every other WC.

No reason at all to go slow. Do it all at once. I do it all the time. You think there is someone in the Amazon making sure that the water parameters don't change by more than 10% a day?

I've allways thought that we should gradually acclimatise discus to new enviroment and changes in parameters.
This is rather encouraging information .

when I was trying to get pairs to breed I used pretty much straight RO water until I had eggs hatch. As soon as the eggs hatched I switched back to regular tap water (aged). The parents and the newly hatched fry never seem bothered at all.

I think if newly hatched (less than 24hour old) fry can handle it adults can too.

at least ime
