[QUOTE="pumppimp, post: 469385, member: 52090"] Hi Duneplodder, The transmitter has a warranty for 9 months but most seem to work for on average about a year, I'm not sure what the warranty is on the reciever as mine is my pump. As soon as you start using the transmitter is when it lasts for as there is a little magnetic in the packaging which turns it on and is therefore permanently on whether it's in use or not, so i can't see you extending the use on that, even if you were just using it intermittendly. The sensors have a 6 month shelf life but also seem to last a lot longer than the stated 7 days I found the more often you calibrate it the longer it will last and be accurate. It's always worth a try to ask to see if your PCT would fund the sensors 186 for 4. If you don't ask you don't get!. That would work out £46.50 each sensor but if they were lasting at least 3 weeks is that not a lot more affordable, than almost 50 a week? miss out a few nights out, etc would that be worth it?
