An apparatus and method for delivering bottled water to a remote appliance such as a kitchen faucet, refrigerator, coffee maker or beverage dispenser is comprised of a reservoir having means for supporting an inverted water bottle there above, a conduit disposed between the reservoir and a water inlet of the appliance, and a pump along the length of the conduit for injecting purified water under pressure from the reservoir into the appliance. A low liquid level switch is employed for detecting low water level in the reservoir, and a pressure switch is used for turning the pump on and off. A check valve may also be introduced between the pump and the appliance to prevent backflow of water into the reservoir. An alternate embodiment of the system employs bottle support means designed to hold two bottles simultaneously and permit evacuation of their contents into the reservoir in sequence.
