What if you put too much liquid chlorine?

Either my FC measurement is wrong or I put too much chlorine.
Today at 9am it was 9 so I need to bring it up to shock level of 12 (I'm doing SLAM).

PoolMath says 1 quart 3 cups. I put like 15 cups thinking 1 quart =12 cups. LOL (facepalm).
It's actually 4 cups (1 quart = 4 cups) so I should have only put 7 cups.

So now the FC is 18 (36 drops). CC is 1/2 (1 drop).

Was that very bad, bad, not so bad, does not matter, ok, or good?

Its ok. Just keep slamming and add more chlorine when it drops below slam level.

Probably not so bad. Hopefully a sunny day? That will help it burn off.

if it is sunny right now, the sun should burn off the excess, as well as whatever it is that you are trying to kill doing it as well...
Let your levels drop to JUST below your SLAM level, then dose again.

You got this, relax, and learn from your boo-boo.

Yes it's sunny. 71 F in San Diego, California.
Phew it's ok/not so bad then.
Thanks!
