A pump part that doesn't corrode. Ever.

Simsite® is a patented structural composite by Sims Pump Valve Company. According to the manufacturer, Simsite impellers weigh about one sixth of bronze and typically last three to five times longer than metal in seawater service.

Non-corrosive

Eliminates galvanic and chemical corrosion in seawater service.

Lightweight

According to the manufacturer, about one sixth the weight of bronze.

Self-lubricating

Composite matrix reduces wear at running clearances.

Long service life

According to the manufacturer, typically three to five times longer than metal in seawater service.
