Abstract: A bottle water disinfectant, storage, and dispensing system for purifying drinking water or the like. The preferred embodiment of the present invention contemplates a bottle water dispensing system having an inlet line, a storage tank, a filter area, and a dispensing port, wherein there is provided the steps of infusing water flowing into the storage tank with a disinfecting medium such as iodine, chlorine or the like, allowing the infused water to remain in the storage tank for a period of time to allow the disinfecting medium present in the stored water to kill all microbes and the like in the water, and selectively dispensing the stored water, including the further steps of filtering the disinfectant medium and remaining contaminants from the stored water.

Abstract: An apparatus for converting a conventional bottle-water cooler into a self-filling bottles water cooler is provided. The apparatus includes a water bottle, a water inlet system, a venting system and a seal. In one embodiment, the seal is flat with a central opening which is stretched over the neck of the bottle and released, which allows the disk to assume a cylindrical configuration in engagement with the outer surface of the neck. The neck with the seal is then fimly pressed inside the water tank. In another embodiment, the seal includes rounded ridges disposed concentrically on one side of the seal with the ridges being successively wider and thicker towards the outermost edge of the seal.

Abstract: A self-filling bottled-water cooler dispenses pure water from a transparent water bottle mounted on the top of a free-standing cabinet body. The cooler attaches to a tap-water or other continuous water source and provides a continuous supply of pure water without need to change the water bottle. In an alternative embodiment, an apparatus for converting a conventional bottled-water cooler into a self-filling bottled-water cooler is provided. The apparatus includes a water bottle which replaces the interchangeable water bottle of the conventional bottled-water cooler. Water from a tap water or other source is purified in a reverse osmosis, carbon block or other water purifier and is routed to the water bottle of the apparatus. An inlet valve mounted on the lower portion of the water bottle and connected to a float mechanism within the water bottle regulates the flow of purified water into the water bottle.

Abstract: A self-filling bottled-water cooler dispenses pure water from a transparent water bottle mounted on the top of a free-standing cabinet body. The cooler attaches to a tap-water or other continuous water source and provides a continuous supply of pure water without need to change the water bottle The free-standing cabinet body includes a water tank located within the upper portion of the cabinet body and at least one tap for dispensing water from the water tank. The water bottle is securely attached on the top of the cabinet body to the water tank such that water freely flows between the bottle and the tank. Water from the tap water or other source is purified in a reverse osmosis, carbon block or other water purifier and is routed to the water tank. An inlet valve connected to a float mechanism within the water bottle regulates the flow of purified water into the water tank. The fload mechanism closes the inlet valve only when the purified water in the water bottle is at or above a desired full level.
