Claims20
A water dispenser for dispensing filtered carbonated water comprising:
- a housing defining a front dispensing face, a rear face, first and second side walls, a top wall and a bottom wall;
- a dispensing faucet at the front dispensing face of the housing comprising a first inlet, wherein the first inlet is in communication with a carbonated water line wherein the carbonated water line provides carbonated water from a carbonated water module within the water dispenser, wherein the faucet further comprises a tapered plug within the first inlet having an adjustment mechanism, wherein adjusting the adjustment mechanism moves the tapered plug into and out of the first inlet, wherein moving the tapered plug into the first inlet restricts the flow of carbonated water through the first inlet and moving the tapered plug out of the first inlet increases the flow of carbonated water through the first inlet.
