I'm starting to think the same way. In reality, that's all the Motive unit is anyway - a glorified garden sprayer with a pressure gauge.

I've got two or three unused sprayers sitting in the barn. Heck, for that matter, a brand new one isn't that much from Wally World. And I can get a simple 15 psi pressure gauge from Advance for about $10.

Youtube has plenty of videos from other people doing the same. Even that gent from WA state, who's MB site shall not be mentioned here, has a how-to video on it.
