water pump replacement- how often?

i don't have a manual for my stage 1, so was wondering if somebody could tell me if the water pump is a scheduled maintenance item, and if so after how long should it be done? are aftermarket pumps ok, and which brand are recommended or should i go for original parts if i can get them?
