Flipping the tee would be simpler, but I'm not sure whether you'd end up diverting 1% or 25% of the water in moderate flow conditions. | |

I'd plan on shooting it some water every month or so, or turn the tee feeding it around, too (you'll lose some water from the greywater, but not all of it, and that loss will keep the trap wet.) | |
