I’m due to go on holiday in July it will be very hot and this is my first time going with my pump I’ve only ever used pens in the past I also have a crack in the pump so I won’t be able to wear it whilst in pool or sea Just wondering if it would be best to go back onto Pens for the holiday
 
Provided the pump is not in direct sunlight, a pump is fine in hot weather.
If you are sunbathing, make sure it is placed under a towel.
I am not a sun worshipper but I like hot weather and my pump has been fine under my clothes in temperatures up to 40 degrees with no issues.

If you have a crack in your pump, it should be replaced under warranty,
 

Thank you for the advice
