Seems to me that the printed text in the Owner's Manual
doesn't lie.
Sorry, but I think companies need to put people first, rather than worrying about being offended when a customer comments on (or complains about) a design flaw, and about whether they're going to make a buck off a potential sale! To me, a timer IS a flaw & should be fixed or changed. After four years, regardless of whether a person's with Disetronic/Accu-chek or whomever, they have the option & the right to go to ANY pump company they want, providing insurance is willing to pay (or they have the money to purchase out of pocket). So why bother to put a timer in the pump!? (
Don't answer that: It's a rhetorical question.
