This invention relates to improvements in methods of treating, storing and dispensing water and to improvements in systems for treating and storing and dispensing water. The method includes the steps of storing a quantity of treated water under near atmospheric pressure and adding to that quantity by forcing untreated water through a selected filter at higher pressure and by dispensing a portion of that quantity of treated water by increasing the pressure to substantially said higher pressure. An apparatus is described by which to treat, to store and to dispense water by that and other methods. The apparatus includes a composite container structure which defines three separate containers some of which share common walls. The container is associated with valving and fluid flow circuitry by which raw water is treated until a selected quantity of it has been stored and by which treated water may be dispensed at raw water pressure and at selected rate by operation of a single control.
