Such a cool invention, and it looks purdy too! And Kyle, I do not have a flat space on either side of my sink (at least not any flat space that leads water back down into my sink). If I didn’t use a tea towel (or the rack in my dishwasher), my dishes would be sliding around the counter top and most likely falling onto the floor.

Most sinks have a flat space either side to put dishes. I’d put the dishrack on one side, and simply let the dishes drip off that – I don’t understand why you need a tea towel at all.

To catch the water, either let it simply dribble into the sink with the plug in, or else as someone else said put a baking tray under it.

Mine hooks up to the sink and expells water out the connection so I usually put a jug under it to reuse the water.

You might also try Goodwill :)

It is called Flow and it incorporates whole systems in drying dishes, watering plants and composting kitchen scraps. I don’t even know if it is for sale. I know that I am going to create my own knock off of this inspired design. I think you will enjoy this. Check out Flow.
