It is not the end of the world. Water is a better heat transfer fluid than ethylene glycol, so you are balancing protection and efficiency. 50/50 goes down to -34 F, and 60/40 down to -50 F or so. When I refill my system I end up putting in a little more than gallon of antifreeze and a gallon of distilled water. You probably had some residual mix in the system, so drain between 3-4 quarts out and and add distilled water. Save what you have drained and use it to add, if the need arises.
