TBH I wonder if there is an imitation supplier for these pumps.
The OEM ones are made by pierburg (or Rheinmetall automotive), and I think that all major generic suppliers (like Febi, Mezger, Optimal; I dont know if these also operate in the US) buy them at Pierburg.
I even think that the Hepu one (Hepu is a high quality aftermarket waterpump manufacturer) is also made by Pierburg as its quite a complex part to imitate.
Maybe there is a china imitation version.

But if you get a Pierburg one you know you have something equal to the original product as Pierburg is the OEM

Be sure to get one with the replacement bolts (the aluminium bolts are one time use)
