1. Follow the recommended operating parameters: Ensure that you are operating within the recommended current density, temperature, and pH range. This will prevent excessive wear and tear on the anode, increasing its lifespan.

2. Clean the anode regularly: Over time, the surface of the anode can become covered with unwanted substances, leading to a decrease in performance. Regular cleaning of the anode can prolong its lifespan and increase its efficiency.

3. Avoid over-tightening the anode: Tightening the anode too much can cause the screws to strip and damage the anode. Ensure that you are tightening it just enough to make proper contact with the electrolyte and not any more.

4. Consider a protective coating: A protective coating can be applied to the anode to minimize the impact of corrosive chemicals and extend the life of the anode.

5. Use anode baskets: Anode baskets can help to protect the anode from
