A water sending and dispensing system includes a cabinet (10) in which a water container (12) is disposed. The water container (12) has a fluid-impermeable wall (14) and a filtered opening (18). A draw tube (32) and a refill tube (20) are sealably inserted through the filtered opening (18). The upper end (24) of the refill tube (20) is attached to a refill chamber (28) that allows the easy refill of the container (12). An upper end (36) of the suction tube (32) is connected to an inlet (38) of a pump (40), which is preferably of the self-priming, pressure demand, diaphragm type. An outlet (42) of the pump delivers water to the exterior. This water is preferably delivered at an elevated pressure, allowing the use of a water supply of superior quality in conventional appliances remote from the cabinet (10).
