Tandem T:Slim not even a little waterproof?

I hate bumping an old thread, but I had the exact same issues. I got the slim when it first came out, as it was touted as the next best thing. Touch screen, rechargable, and water resistant for active lifestyles. After getting a replacement before the end of warranty, I immediately had issues with it in water, having put the original through its paces with swimming, boating, ect. simple things like hopping in the pool for a few minutes resulted in needing to call tslim for a new pump

I got the x2 recently, and had the exact same experience. on vacation, and was trying to read a book while sitting in a floating pool lounge chair. Guess who was happy they brought a backup pump?

If you are active, you can’t use a tslim. Get a different brand. It’s a great pump (if you don’t mind all the beeping), but it’s not as robust as the animas. Hell, it makes me miss the minimed waterproof bricks. At least minimed is/was kind enough to make water activity attachments for us!
