The basic procedure I use is:

Initial rinse over the anodize tank with a small sprayer.
Dip in neutralizer tank (1/2 lb baking soda per gal of RO) and rinse.
Dip in rinse tank of RO/distilled water. At this step the parts can stay in the water of the rinse tank until ready to dye and/or seal.

Some use small garden sprayers that you pump up to pressurize. Care needs to be taken with these to make sure they are free of oil or assembly lube so you don't contaminate the work or your tanks.
