A system for dispensing fluids including a closed container having a manually actuated dispensing pump carried therebeneath, the container being separated by a partition into a lower reservoir compartment and an upper refill compartment, the latter adapted to enclose therein a removable refill pouch; a refill well is provided in the partition and disposed in the refill well is a hollow tubular member extending upwardly thereinto with a refill aperture extending therethrough; the refill pouch has a flexible wall hermetically sealed and containing fluid, and a docking adaptor loosely disposed within the pouch for insertion into the refill well so as to push the wall of the pouch upon the piercing member to pierce the wall to provide an opening for discharge of fluid from the pouch through the refill aperture and into the lower reservoir compartment; a slot in the wall in the upper refill compartment prevents accumulation of free fluid therein.
