Given the length of tubing, we determine the number of spirals needed and the circumference of the bucket in which the spirals will be wrapped around. Then, based on the thickness (or outer diameter) of the tubing, the total thickness or height when all the spirals are touching is calculated to ensure that the thickness is less than the user-thickness. If this is the case, the spacing between each spiral is calculated for extra constructability information.

Again, it should be stated that this design would not work well with our point-of-use unit. The tubing length of 3.5 meters is too long and almost ridiculous to include in our filtration system. We can most definitely find a better way to design this component.
