Good point, but then the same increased surface area could be obtained by using 2mm flat sheeting cut into strips, which I have tried. I decided on 2mm solid wire eventually using 12 electrodes and it works very well. At first it was not clear to me what the idea behind the tubing was, I had previously thought it was intended to present a greater overall exposed surface area, but just bending it so the ends are both out of the water should be fine, though a 1 mm wall will wear through faster than a 2 mm wire, and then your tubing will be no good.
