Yes, I do go through the test menu and every looks fine -- then again, I don't know what I'm looking for (3000 is the salt level, and it does report voltage and other cell statistics, but since I'm not sure what's normal I don't know if it's bad or not).

Normally when there is a problem (like cell corrosion) I get a red light on the pilot and it asks me to check it. No red light, or failure indicated on the panel (which it does) so I don't think that's a problem. Same for connections -- once before the return for the pilot was blocked and needed to be cleaned and the red light came on and the display told me of a problem. But no light, no display warnings -- it seems as if it's working fine.

I run the pump about 8 hours right now (for my solar). This is actually far more than I usually run it (about 5 hours is all my pool needs and in the past this was more than enough for the chlorine).

Based on all this I'm guessing there must be a catastrophic failure in the year old Pilot, because otherwise it should be telling me something, right?
