Default 2006 Impala SS - Water pump has gone out twice

Hey all,

A couple of years ago I inherited a 2006 Impala SS with only 15,000 miles on it. Soon after the water pump, "exploded" (quoting from the mechanic). I figured it was just a fluke. A few weeks ago (and less than 20000 miles later), it happened again. I'm just curious as to whether this is a known weakness of this car, or is something else going on?

Did the mechanic put in an off brand pump? Did he put in antifreeze or water? The cheaply rebuilt pumps don't always last for a long time.
