A disinfecting liquid dispenser comprises a bowl for holding liquid, and a tube for drawing liquid out of the bowl. Liquid passes through the tube by action of a pump. The tube carrying the liquid is held within a housing adjacent to or integrally constructed with the bowl. The tube is formed of a light transmissive or transparent material. The tube is within a housing of a disinfecting section. Within the housing of the disinfecting section there is an ultraviolet light generator, which shines UV light on the liquid as it passes through the tube being pumped through the housing of the disinfecting section. The liquid exits the tube through an outlet and passes down a return ramp back to the bowl. In one embodiment, the return ramp includes a light transmissive window through which the UV light shines UV light on liquid passing over the window. In this manner, water or liquid circulating through the system is disinfected and aerated. A disinfecting liquid dispenser is suitable for use with pets for providing a longer-lasting supply of fresh and uncontaminated drinking water.
