A water dispenser is provided. The water dispenser comprises a reservoir 3 having an inlet 6 and an outlet 7. The inlet 6 is connectible in use to a supply of water and the outlet 7 is connectible in use to a water distribution system. An inlet valve 21, 22 comprises a member movable between a closed position in which the inlet 6 is closed and one or more open positions in which the inlet 6 is open to permit water to flow from the water supply into the reservoir 3. The reservoir 3 is closed by a movable member 4 to seal the reservoir 3, the moveable member 4 being movable in response to changes in pressure within the reservoir 3. A linkage 8 is engaged to and movable in response to movement of the moveable member 4, the linkage 8 being connected to the inlet valve 21, 22 by a lever arrangement 11, 14, 16, arranged so that changes in pressure within the reservoir 3 cause the inlet valve 21, 22 member to move between open and closed positions.
