Abstract: A water purification and dispensing apparatus comprises a water inlet for obtaining water from a supply source and a water purification system with filters for removing impurities from the source water to produce purified water. The water purification system is designed to respond to a demand condition for purified water by recirculating purified water in the apparatus to flush the filters of the water purification system. The apparatus also includes a mineralization system and has a dispensing system for dispensing the mineralized purified water into containers.

Abstract: A water purification and dispensing apparatus comprises a water inlet for obtaining water from a supply source, a water purification system for removing impurities from the source water, a mineral addition system for adding desired minerals into the purified water, the system being sealed against airborne contaminants; and a dispensing system for dispensing the mineralized, purified water into containers. The purification, mineral addition and dispensing systems are contained in a single apparatus that can be transported to a location and connected to a water supply source. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus also comprises a container washing station for washing containers prior to the containers being filled with purified water.
