A dispensing system for bottled water, having a vented fluid dispenser assembly secured to the neck of a bottle which is inverted and supported by a bracket. The vent tube extends inward through the fluid to near the bottle bottom and ends with a check valve. A concentric valve member located within a flow tube seals against a valve seat and is manipulated by the reciprocating motion of a sleeve which surrounds the flow tube. The valve member is shaped with varying diameters, to regulate flow rate as a function of its elevation relative to the valve seat. The outer end of the valve member is releasably fastened to the sleeve center. A number of ways of assembling the fluid dispenser assembly to a bottle are provided for in this patent, including a sliding yoke, a clamping slide, and a swinging clasp, each of which has means for urging the dispenser assembly into sealing contact with the bottle mouth by gripping the outside of the neck, and in addition there are plug securing means, each adapted to compress a deformable plug within the bottle neck. A container support is used to securely support a five or six gallon bottle in an inverted position allowing easy insertion, use and removal.
