How long to wait between adding pool chemicals
The wait times between adding pool chemicals is usually around 10 minutes each, as that is also sufficient time for the chemicals to mix in the water.

The only chemicals you must never add at the same time are chlorine and acid.
Stabilizer, salt and calcium chloride can be added with other chemicals.
Some chemicals, like those used to raise TA, effect multiple things and you would want to wait and see it’s effect on pH before adding acid.
If you are worried about a specific combination of chemicals ask here.

I just default to waiting 10 minutes between each addition. With an SWG once you get everything in line it will mostly be Muriatic Acid additions, so your not going to save much time in the long run anyways.
