A device for sanitizing and dispensing water used in dental and other medica l procedures provides a sanitizing tank (14) into which municipal tap water or another water supply is sanitized to kill harmful bacteria and other micro- organisms. The sanitized water is drained to a reservoir when the level of water in the reservoir reaches a selected lower limit, as detected by a leve l sensor which signals a valve between the sanitizing tank and the reservoir t o open. The sanitized water can be used in medical or dental procedures which require large amounts of water for irrigation, cooling or other purposes. Th e dispensing system provides selectable distribution of the sanitized water through an existing dental distribution system, supplying disinfectant to certain dispensing devices and systems while supplying sanitized water to others.
