pump packing up options?

hi everyone i am on the h-tron pump and just had the inspection alarm, on calling disetronic i was told they dont do this anymore apparently and was told i will get a call about the new spirit pump . I asked if this would be free and she told me she didnt know . After reading the threads on here about disetronic and this pump i dont think my chances of a free pump are great . I have no insurance and not a great deal of money what are my options ? Any suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated thank you.

You won't get a free pump if your pump is up, that's for sure. At most they'd let you turn your old one in for some credit (probably about $500.) All pump companies do have a payment plan if you are interested. I think some will take as little as $50 a month towards the total cost.

That's really your only option unless you want to go back to shots. Sorry I don't have more advice, but once your pump clock reaches the end, it's done.

This is why Disetronic really sucks lately.
