I would say the water seal is sufficient.

Traps need smooth walls however.

If you look at it just right, it's a Q-trap.



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
Theodore Roosevelt
