The control module provides a light for the basin area as well as water dispensing conduits which can be precisely electronically controlled for water delivery, flow rate, quantity, temperature, CO.sub.2 content, purity level, detergent level, etc. A hand held brush extending from the controller module by a flexible hose can be provided and its controls applied onto the control panel of the controller module. A separate water conduit for drinking water can be provided with controls for purity, CO.sub.2 content, temperature, quantity, flow rate, etc. The modular design is effectively manufactured and installed and allows for flexibility in selecting options for the water appliance. The water appliance can be aesthetically integrated with the kitchen by appropriate selection of paneling and cabinetry.
