An apparatus for dispensing a liquid from a liquid storage container operably associated with the apparatus for dispensing a liquid, the apparatus for dispensing a liquid comprising: (a) a main housing having a dispensing location at which liquid from a liquid storage container is dispensed and a storage location for storing the liquid storage container, the dispensing location being disposed above at least a portion of the storage location, a reservoir being disposed in the main housing, the reservoir is configured to receive a liquid from the liquid storage container prior to the liquid being dispensed from the main housing; (b) a removable liquid manifold operably connected to the reservoir and the liquid storage container, a reservoir dip tube, and a liquid dispensing conduit (12, 14) for dispensing a liquid from the apparatus for dispensing a liquid, characterized in that: said removable liquid manifold including an upper chamber and a lower chamber (16, 17), wherein an outlet of said upper chamber being connected to said liquid dispensing conduit (12, 14) and an inlet of said upper chamber being connected to said reservoir dip tube, said upper chamber being configured to convey a liquid in a first flow path from said reservoir dip tube into said liquid dispensing conduit (12, 14), a portion of said first flow path is a substantially horizontal flow path, said lower chamber (16, 17) including an inlet for receiving a liquid from the liquid storage container stored in a bottom portion of the liquid dispenser below said liquid manifold when said removable manifold is installed in an operating position in the apparatus for dispensing a liquid, said lower chamber (16, 17) being configured to convey liquid from said liquid storage container to said reservoir in a second flow path, wherein a portion of said second flow path is a substantially horizontal flow path, and wherein said upper chamber is disposed above said lower chamber (16, 17), and said lower chamber (16, 17) and said upper chamber share a common wall portion, the common wall portion forms a lowermost portion of said upper chamber. (a) a main housing having a dispensing location at which liquid from a liquid storage container is dispensed and a storage location for storing the liquid storage container, the dispensing location being disposed above at least a portion of the storage location, a reservoir being disposed in the main housing, the reservoir is configured to receive a liquid from the liquid storage container prior to the liquid being dispensed from the main housing; (b) a removable liquid manifold operably connected to the reservoir and the liquid storage container, a reservoir dip tube, and a liquid dispensing conduit (12, 14) for dispensing a liquid from the apparatus for dispensing a liquid, characterized in that: said removable liquid manifold including an upper chamber and a lower chamber (16, 17), wherein an outlet of said upper chamber being connected to said liquid dispensing conduit (12, 14) and an inlet of said upper chamber being connected to said reservoir dip tube, said upper chamber being configured to convey a liquid in a first flow path from said reservoir dip tube into said liquid dispensing conduit (12, 14), a portion of said first flow path is a substantially horizontal flow path, said lower chamber (16, 17) including an inlet for receiving a liquid from the liquid storage container stored in a bottom portion of the liquid dispenser below said liquid manifold when said removable manifold is installed in an operating position in the apparatus for dispensing a liquid, said lower chamber (16, 17) being configured to convey liquid from said liquid storage container to said reservoir in a second flow path, wherein a portion of said second flow path is a substantially horizontal flow path, and wherein said upper chamber is disposed above said lower chamber (16, 17), and said lower chamber (16, 17) and said upper chamber share a common wall portion, the common wall portion forms a lowermost portion of said upper chamber.
