V6 water pumps high failure rate?

I have a 99 V6 and I'm looking at doing water pump #5. Car has 220,000km on it, it is usual to go through water pumps like this? It always seems to start by leaving puddles on the garage floor, and it's doing that again and leaving bigger puddles.
Latest pump was a Hepu, as I hoped by spending more I'd avoid having to do it again. I used Gates before that.
I'm also on radiator #3, so this car doesn't like it's coolant! I checked and the fans do come on ( I don't live in a hot climate anyway, last week was -25C). One modification I have made is I put a 15 psi cap on the expansion tank, rather than the OEM 22psi, as I was hoping the lower pressure would make the WP last longer. Doesn't seem to have worked!
