The present invention is directed to a water purification and dispensing apparatus which receives power through induction to eliminate the presence of exposed electrical contacts terminals. The water dispenser includes a motor driven pump, a water storage area, a rechargeable battery and a nozzle, such that water is pumped from the water storage area out through the nozzle. Two electrodes are provided in either the water storage area or a separate tank for purifying water placed therein. When the dispenser and/or purifying tank is mounted on a base, inductors in the base, the dispenser, and the tank connect via mutual inductance such that power supplied by the base is received by the dispenser and tank. Since power transfers magnetically, there are no exposed contact points which could corrode and/or short if water is accidentally spilled thereon.
