well if the engine overheats then yes you'll do damage to it, but there's no way to determine the life of the pump, so you just replace it when it needs it.
very loosely speaking there are parts you replace on a cyclical basis as part of preventative maintenance and parts you replace when they are faulty. The pump fits into the later part.
It's a bit like asking when do you replace the alternator, you don't replace the pump or alternator every XX kms rather you replace them when they are faulty (or on their way out).
