To my understanding, when a water pump goes, it leaks coolant everywhere, and tons of it too. You'd notice that.

First I'd check the system is bled properly. The SR20 is very sensitive to air in the cooling system. Find a good procedure from a FSM or on se-r.net and follow it.
If the correct mix of corrosion inhibitor has been consistently used in the coolant then the waterpump should be alright.
