Ive put too much chlorine in my pool, does anyone know how to neutralise it?

How much did you add?

Safe levels of chlorine (total and free) are 10ppm and lower. Typical shock doses of chlorine add 10-15ppm of free chlorine to the water.

Sunlight will dissipate the chlorine effectively so this is the best way to get rid of it.

The chemical that scubabob recommended works well. It is sodium thiosulfate and is used mainly in spa's but works equally well in a pool. However, two or even three days of full sunshine on the pool will neutralize almost all the chlorine in the water if you don't add anymore during this time.

Put potato juice in.
OMG I wish I owned a swimming pool.
<jealous> lol
It should dissipate of its own accord in time.
you really can't, keep the water circulating and the sun will eventually burn it up.
