FC Suddenly Not Registering

Hi all,

I have a ~30,000 gallon in-ground pool. My pool's chemicals have been perfect for weeks, and recently within the last day or two, I can't get any FC to record beyond 0.5. Additionally, for the first time this season, this morning my PH was very low (off the chart in terms of the color it was producing). I raised it right after seeing this, which then made it go off the chart high today thereafter (must've added too much). Throughout this period today I added 2 gallons of liquid chlorine, which won't show up on FAS-DPD test beyond around 0.5, if that. Water is crystal clear, and I have no idea what's wrong. Any help much appreciated!
 
How quickly after adding did you test?

Could be bad chlorine. Put a drop or two in some water and see if the DPD powder turns it pink.
