Whelp, I have no way of finding out how much anti-freeze went into my pool(everything in the lines went in the pool). I do know it is RV antifreeze at least. What is the best way to break down the antifreeze? I’ve heard an enzyme remover works better than chlorine because of how the chlorine reacts with anti-freeze, but I‘m used to TFP usually only saying to use chlorine for most needs. Thoughts? Or am I better off draining halfway and diluting that stuff first. I’m not getting a FC read yet and I am assuming the chlorine is combining with the antifreeze(I didn’t know about the antifreeze when I started the SLAM process).
Lots of antifreeze in pool

Chlorine and time. Happens every year here on TFP. In a pool your size probably negligible effects. But you can increase the FC about halfway up to SLAM level if you would like just to help.
How much antifreeze are we talking ? We had a member last year that the pool service filled his pipes to the brim with 27(?) gallons.
2 gallons of RV antifreze went into my pool each spring without harm.
