There is a possibility that your chlorine is so high it bleached out the test strips. That's just one of the reasons we dislike test strips so much around here. Pool School - Test Kits Compared
The other possibility is that you have something growing in the pool that is using up all your chlorine as fast as the SWG makes it. If the pool was just filled and looks clear, that's unlikely.
The pH will continue to rise from the Hydrogen gas released by the cell when it combines NaCL + H2O into NaOCl (bleach) and H2
