The base has a recess in which a reverse osmosis unit is laid, with water connecting means for supplying water to the portable water container and for providing an overflow. The reverse osmosis unit can be quickly and easily removed from the base by merely lifting the osmosis unit from the recess and pulling stopper type end connectors from the ends thereof. The walls of the recessed portion of the base restrains movement of the stopper end connectors from the osmosis units during use. Also a unique reverse osmosis unit is used that has activated carbon impregnated paper therein through which the water passes providing further water treatment.
