Abstract
Top-loading bottled water dispensers are disclosed that include hot water sanitizing capabilities (and, optionally, ozone sanitizing features). The dispensers include a cold tank equipped with an evaporator that is configured to chill the water in the cold tank. The dispensers further include a hot tank that is fluidly coupled to the cold tank through one or more tubes, with the hot tank being attached to a heating element that is configured to heat the water in the hot tank. In addition, the dispensers include an electronic control board that is configured to heat the volume of water contained in the cold tank above a defined threshold temperature and for a defined period of time that is effective to sanitize the internal surfaces of the cold tank. The dispensers further include a floating disk valve that is configured to prevent entry of hot water into the water bottle.
