Until all of this happened, your test kit would show an increased Combined Chlorine (CC) level (actually, your test kit would show a Total Chlorine level greater than the Free Chlorine level, the difference being Combined Chlorine). If this CC persisted, you'd have to seriously shock the pool to get rid of it.

Now, aren't you glad you didn't dump the ammonia into the pool?
