If you replaced the water pump, you probably had a big air bubble up inside the engine. It's common. You need to "burp" it (it has probably burped itself by now).

Top it up with the right mixture of water and water and give it a run.

Carry two gallon jugs of water in the trunk for awhile, and you'll not need them.
