ABSTRACT:
A counter-height water dispenser which is comprised of a housing having a top wall disposed at substantially counter height. A water reservoir is supported in a top part of the housing. The reservoir has an open-top end section and a bottom cooling well section. The top wall is formed as a cover which is removably secured over an open area of the housing for access to an opening in the open-top end section of the reservoir. A compressor and condensor coil is mounted below the reservoir with a cooling coil being associated therewith. The cooling coil is disposed about the well section of the reservoir. An outlet port is provided in the well section and is connected to a low-pressure electric pump. The pump has an outlet tube connected to a dispensing faucet which is removably secured on the top wall of the housing adjacent the open area. The faucet has a low-pressure sealing coupling in its connection with the outlet tube. A drip tray is positioned in front of the faucet and a switch actuates the pump to dispense water from the reservoir through the faucet at low pressure so that water in the faucet will flow back in the outlet tube and reservoir when the pump is deactuated whereby the low pressure joints are not subject to pressure when water is not dispensed.
