Filter Pump's MTD carbon bushings are stated to resist extended dry-run damage — real protection against the run-dry failure mode common when a plating rinse tank's liquid level drops during a bath changeover.
Plating baths run alkaline cyanide and high-chloride chemistries in the same shop, sometimes in adjacent tanks — Filter Pump's MF/SM systems and Richter's MNK line both exist because a mag-drive pump sized for one plating bath's chemistry isn't automatically safe in the next tank over.
