Radiator / Water Pump Replacement

Radiator / Water Pump Replacement
Hello, I am posting on this forum for very first time.
My car is 1999 Volvo S80 T-6
I am considering a full radiator hose replacement (upper and lower), in addition with new coolant liquid (50/50) using Antifreeze Pentosin or Volvo Antifreeze/Coolant 1 3.78 liter with other 3.78 liter deionized water. But considering my car at 130k mileage right now, should I consider replacing water pump also to help car run longer?
First thing there's video that shows how to replace whole radiator hose and draining old antifreeze liquid out, and putting a new antifreeze in:
Sorry for long youtube link. This procedure looks very easy. Although a stupid question is: where to find and replace water pump?
The reason I planning to replace liquid coolant was because the display shows up stating that the liquid coolant is low right now.
Parts to get from: RockAuto Parts Catalog
Liquid Antifreeze / Coolant: Pentosin or Volvo Brand with Deionized Water. (Might need help finding which good site to buy from).
Any answers would be much appreciated!

If there is a message saying low coolant then just top it off with volvo coolant, and the message will go away. A radiator flush is not hard at all. And twoarcadians is correct, you should worry about your belt if it hasn't been replaced already and a mechanic normally gets the belt and waterpump in a kit. Depending on how much he charges your looking at a grand for the Timing belt change.
