Abstract: The subject matter discloses a capping apparatus comprising: a top plate connected to a fluid container, said top plate comprises an apparatus opening through which fluid is dispersed from the fluid container; wherein the apparatus opening is defined by an opening wall; a rigid cork that is slide-ably moveable between a first state in which a cork is snapped into the apparatus opening and a second state where the cork is snapped out of the apparatus opening, wherein the cork moves between the first state and the second state in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: A method for sanitizing a beverage dispenser apparatus includes filling fluid in at least a hot beverage tank of a beverage dispensing apparatus, heating the fluid in the hot beverage tank to a predetermined temperature range, configuring the drain valve to a closed state, activating a primary sanitation cycle by causing the heated fluid from the hot beverage tank to flow through at least a first subset of components of the beverage dispenser apparatus and terminating the primary sanitation cycle when at least one predetermined condition is satisfied. A secondary sanitation cycle is activated by causing the heated fluid from the hot beverage tank to flow through at least a second subset of components of the beverage dispenser apparatus.

Abstract: The subject matter discloses a water dispenser, comprising a water container, a water supply system, a fluid pump and a control unit. The water supply system is configured to supply water from the water container to a hot water reservoir and to a cold water reservoir and is further configured to provide hot water from said hot water reservoir and cold water from said cold water reservoir to a user of said water dispenser. The fluid pump is fluidly coupled to a fluid flow system and the water supply system and is configured to pump a quantity of hot water from the hot water reservoir to the water container via a fluid flow conduit of the fluid flow system for a cleansing operation of at least the fluid flow system. The control unit is in communication with the fluid pump for controlling the cleansing operation.

Abstract: The subject matter discloses an apparatus, which includes a housing; a mineral water container positioned within the housing and formed as a bag and box package unit; a chilled water faucet and a hot water faucet configured to dispense chilled mineral water and hot mineral water from the apparatus. In some cases, the apparatus further includes a cold water tank for receiving water at room temperature from the mineral water container and supply cold water to the cold water faucet and a hot water tank for receiving water at room temperature from the mineral water container and supply hot water to the hot water faucet. The apparatus may include a pump for pumping water from the mineral water container to the cold water tank and the hot water tank.

Abstract: The subject matter discloses a water dispenser apparatus, comprising a single suction unit for pumping water from a water container to a cold water tank and to a hot water tank. The single suction unit also pumps water from a suction tube connected to either the cold water tank or the hot water tank. The water sucked by the suction unit from the suction tube is circulated between the cold water tank and the hot water tank and when heated is used to clean tubes and tanks at the water dispenser apparatus and is transferred through tubes within the water dispenser apparatus. The subject matter also discloses a method for cleaning the water dispensing apparatus by activating a primary cleaning cycle and a secondary cleaning cycle for cleaning the water tanks and the tubes.
