Abstract
An undersink water delivery system that includes a housing for holding a container of water and a pump for delivering water to an air gap type faucet. The housing includes a pivotally mounted access door that assists a user in loading a container of water. The access door includes a water delivery coupling that is connected to the pump to deliver water from the container to the faucet. To load a container of water the access door is pivoted to the open position and a container of water is slid into a cradle formed in the access door until the neck of the bottle engages the water delivery coupling. The access door is pivoted upwardly (including the container of water) into the closed position. The access door thereby functions as a lever assisting a user in loading a container of water into the housing.
