It's a steel bath so I think it'll be fine, the enamel might give up eventually but I'm not that worried about cosmetics! I like the idea of a rockery bit in the bath, hadn't thought of that, might have to see what I can do, though I don't want to do too much as it will reduce the volume...

It wasn't actually a typo, from all I'd read I'd been under the impression that if I wanted to pump the water out, up and back in again it would have to be quite a substantial. Maybe I've done some calcs wrong though...
