Re: water pan.
Be careful to have the water level low enough that it doesn't splash back up on the torch if using ohmic sensing.

Re: water pan.
I agree with Robert. My water level is well below the bottom of the cutting grates. The water extinguishes the molten metal spray, and the draft system exhausts the remaining smoke. I use mine in a temp controlled building (heated/AC) and it works great. Of course I live in Arizona, where it generally doesn't get all that cold in the winter.

Re: water pan.
How low below are you guys doing? And is it clearing out smoke? Before winter I need to figure if I’m doing water or downdraft, which is a crazy price to install.

Re: water pan.
My water level is at least 8" below the bottom of the cutting grates. I supplement this with a draft system. For water tray only, you would probably need to have your water level to the top of the grates - so basically to the metal you are cutting. I have seen this done in various videos and photos - but I wouldn't do it as it can be damaging to the consumables and will disrupt ohmic sensing. If you are not using ohmic sensing (instead maybe stall on material to zero) and you don't mind replacing your consumables more often - then perhaps try that first.
If you go with a downdraft setup, then you would not need the water tray.
