Is this a common problem?

I just found out that the secondary air pump has failed 13 months after I replaced it. I was told that water had somehow gotten inside from the hose that leads from the front (near the headlight) and seized it. This also happened the first time I replaced it. Has this happened to anyone else, and how did you go about fixing it? I would prefer to only replace this every 5 years, not every year! Thanks in advance for the help
