LIKE SHERMAN IN GEORGIA, the trend in watery luxuries for the home--water beds, Water Pics, and vibrating shower heads--marches relentlessly back to the sea. Gone are the days when a lawn sprinkler and a fish bowl sufficed to adequately furnish a home with aquatic appliances. In recent months advertisements for a $1200 bathtub have been catching the eye of readers of national magazines.
