Default 4th Water Pump in less than a year..WHY???

Alright I have had my 93 accord ex for about a year. The owner before had a new water pump installed then I got it and had to fork over the money to do it again. About two months later had to have it done again, and then again two months later. Now I am looking at having it replaced AGAIN. The first time I had it done I had to pay but the last two times have all been covered under warranty.

I don't know how the engine look exactly where the water pump is but could it be warped? Please someone have any ideas why this is happening so I can give a mechanic some clue why this is happening and not have to deal with this again in 3 months.

I moved about 200 miles away from the shop that I have napa warranty with so I don't know if its worth it to get it back there for them to do it or to find some new shop I can't trust either to get it right the last time.

Well if the part IS bad, there should be a coast to coast warranty on the part and a another napa service dealer is on the hook for the warranty work.

What is the issue you are having? You say the wp but don't give any details....it is leaking like no tomorrow, the car over heats at speed, the car over heats when sitting still the car over heats when...............................

Just leaks coolant around the pump, not a huge puddle but not sure its been wet all the time for a while so cant tell how big of a puddle would be there if it was dry out.

sounds more like either an installation issue or the sealing surfaces of the oring to where it makes contact with the block. can't imagine 4 pumps going bad in that short amount of time.
