A molded plastic outer body defines a contaminated water inlet conduit adjoining a contaminated water outlet conduit in which a removable splash plate is positioned on top of the outer body having a slotted air gap cover defining an air gap chamber coupling said waste water inlet to said waste water outlet placed overall, wherein the improvement comprises a third conduit disposed within the outer body for allowing passage of purified water without contamination therethrough from a water purification system. Said third conduit is molded as an integral portion of the outer body adjacent to a wall separating the inlet and outlet conduits. Said splash plate having a hole therein fitted with a short piece of threaded tubing for connection with said third conduit at the lower end and connection with a spout assembly having an on/off valve and a handle for actuating said valve at the upper end.
