A bottled water/tap water cooler and compact oxygen generator system combined within a single housing structure. The oxygen generator includes an air compressor for generating compressed air and uses two molecular sieve beds that operate one after the other. As a first molecular sieve bed absorbs nitrogen, up to approximately 95% pure oxygen is allowed to pass therethrough to a flow meter and into a diffuser which passes the oxygen into a purified drinking water reservoir supplied by the bottled water or filtered tap water. After the first molecular sieve bed is full, the second molecular sieve bed activates and starts absorbing nitrogen while allowing oxygen to pass therethrough, simultaneously, nitrogen is vented from the first molecular sieve into the atmosphere. The first and second molecular sieve beds alternate with one another allowing the system to run continuously by using timer controlled dual 3-way valves.

[ We claim:] [1.] A compact water cooler and oxygen generator system for increasing oxygen within a nonoxygenated water supply, comprising in combination:a single housing;a reservoir containing nonoxygenated drinking water having sides and a bottom, supported by the single housing;a separate nonoxygenated water source located above the reservoir for supplying the nonoxygenated drinking water to the reservoir, the separate nonoxygenated water source chosen from one of bottled water and a tap waterline;a cooler means within the housing for cooling the nonoxygenated drinking water;a generator within the housing for generating oxygen; andmeans within the housing for inserting the oxygen into the reservoir through the bottom of the reservoir and directly oxygenating substantially all of the nonoxygenated drinking water in the reservoir to increase oxygen content in the nonoxygenated drinking water to a supersaturated level.
