A water dispensing system for dispensing water at a dispensing temperature, the system including a temperature-controlled tank for storing water, a tap for allowing water to be dispensed from the tank via the tap, a sensor for detecting the presence of a potential user in proximity to the tap, and a temperature controller configured so that, in a standby mode, the temperature controller maintains a temperature of the water at a standby temperature that is closer to an ambient temperature than the dispensing temperature, and in response to the sensor detecting the presence of a potential user in proximity to the tap, the temperature controller adjusts the temperature of the water to the dispensing temperature. |
