Water pump longevity?

Anybody know about how long the water pump lasts in the Boxster? Mine was getting toward the top of the safe heat range today, but it's just a tiny bit low on coolant. No smells and I'm adding some water to see if it takes care of the problem.

Also, is there any type of coolant besides the Porsche brand that's safe for the Boxster? I saw in the manual where the coolant is "permanent", but what about when it's time to change the hoses or a problem?

Thanks!
