WATER PASS: A Sink Filter Upgrade
Agree with Juan. Seems like a great concept but doesn't look like anyone tried mocking it up to see if it works! Water will generally flow towards the path of least resistance - and taking the food particles with it. So once the centre fills up water will start flowing towards the meshes and it will clog. Also seems very deep. It would be better if they can develop for existing sinks - most sinks all ready have built in collector (albeit very large)
It seems to me food would just collect on the edge where the screen is and block water anyway. We just started using one of these (http://www.lowes.com/pd_204695-1366-10051_0__?productId=3196901) Disposal Genie and it actually works very well. Different purpose, but it reminded me of it. You can get it at a Benny's for $5.
