It will take from days to weeks to have that much algaecide displaced. You should not use the pool during that time. NEXT TIME READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PRODUCTS THAT YOU USE BEFORE YOU USE IT. I would also watch out for any side effects from the copious amounts of algaecide used.
I had a gallon of 10 percent algaecide dumped in our12x24x4' pool is it safe to swim in?
The linear quat algaecide that comes in the gallon jugs is a very dilute solution. The quart containers are typically 50% or 60% concentrate....so a gallon of 10% concentrate is roughly equal to adding 1/5 of a quart bottle of concentrate. The linear quats are safe to swim in almost immediately. However, linear quats do cause foaming. That's not a big issue, but many folks don't like that side effect. The better algaecide to use is 60% Polyquat. It comes in quart bottles, and the chemical name on the side of the bottle is a very long name...but it starts with the word "Poly". Polyquat is more effective, it doesn't foam, and it also acts as a clarifier. It generally costs about $20 for a quart bottle, and the cheapest I've found it is at lesliespool.com and intheswim.com
