<p>An improved bottled water station (10) includes a removable reservoir module (14) for simple drop-in installation into a station housing (16) and to cooperate with station components to provide a selected plurality of water supplies at different temperatures for individual dispensing. The preferred reservoir module (14) comprises a lightweight reservoir of molded plastic or the like having an open upper end for receiving and supporting an inverted water bottle (12), and an internal baffle plate (52) which divides the interior of the reservoir into upper and lower chambers (54, 56). A fitting (62) on a lower end of the reservoir permits sealed reception of a chiller probe (32) into the lower chamber (56), wherein the chiller probe (32) is provided as part of a refrigeration system (28) on the station housing (16). In addition, a fitting (36) on the lower end of the reservoir interconnects water from the upper reservoir chamber (54) with a heated water tank (90) on the station housing (16).</p> |
