Looking at mine, the hose looks like it could be replaced on the pump quite easily if you could obtain one from the company. If that happened to me, I would contact the company and inquire about parts. Initially I would ask about warranty replacement, if they said no then I would followup and ask about getting a hose that is the length of the hose on the non-gauge version to used instead.
Even if they are unwilling to provide that, it would only cost you the time to ask.
