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 se- lected plurality of water supplies at different temperatures for individu- a1 dispensing. The preferred reser- voir module (14)comprises a light- weight reservoir (46) of molded plastic of the like having an open upper end (48) for receiving and supporting an inverted water bottle (12) and an internal baffle plate (52) which divides the interior of the reservoir (46) into upper and lower chambers (54 and 56). A fit- ting. (62) on a lower end of the res- ervoir (46) permits sealed reception of an improved chiller probe (32) into the tower chamber (56), wher- ein the chiller probe (32) is pro- vided as part of a refrigeration sys- tem (28) on the station housing (16). In addition, a fitting (74) on the lower end of the reservoir (46) interconnects water from the upper reservoir chamber (54) with a heated water tank (90) on the station housing (16).
