A fluid dispensing assembly, comprising: a valve adapted for dispensing a fluid to a fluid container when the fluid container is coupled to the valve at a bottom of the fluid container, the valve comprising: a nozzle including a first mating plate configured to mate with a second mating plate positioned at the bottom of the fluid container when the fluid container is properly positioned, the second mating plate including a magnetic material; a plunger having a plunger shaft coupled thereto, the plunger adapted for selectively placing the valve in fluid communication with the fluid container; and a solenoid coupled to the plunger shaft and adapted for moving the plunger shaft to transition the plunger between an open position and a closed position; characterised in that the fluid dispensing assembly comprises: a first sensor adapted for detecting proper placement of the fluid container based on the magnetic material positioned at the bottom of the fluid container, wherein the first sensor is a Hall effect sensor used for detecting a magnet within a base of the fluid container; and a user interface (2772, 2774) coupled to the valve enabling selection of at least a fluid container size and a dispensing mode. a valve adapted for dispensing a fluid to a fluid container when the fluid container is coupled to the valve at a bottom of the fluid container, the valve comprising: a nozzle including a first mating plate configured to mate with a second mating plate positioned at the bottom of the fluid container when the fluid container is properly positioned, the second mating plate including a magnetic material; a plunger having a plunger shaft coupled thereto, the plunger adapted for selectively placing the valve in fluid communication with the fluid container; and a solenoid coupled to the plunger shaft and adapted for moving the plunger shaft to transition the plunger between an open position and a closed position; characterised in that the fluid dispensing assembly comprises: a first sensor adapted for detecting proper placement of the fluid container based on the magnetic material positioned at the bottom of the fluid container, wherein the first sensor is a Hall effect sensor used for detecting a magnet within a base of the fluid container; and a user interface (2772, 2774) coupled to the valve enabling selection of at least a fluid container size and a dispensing mode. a nozzle including a first mating plate configured to mate with a second mating plate positioned at the bottom of the fluid container when the fluid container is properly positioned, the second mating plate including a magnetic material; a plunger having a plunger shaft coupled thereto, the plunger adapted for selectively placing the valve in fluid communication with the fluid container; and a solenoid coupled to the plunger shaft and adapted for moving the plunger shaft to transition the plunger between an open position and a closed position; characterised in that the fluid dispensing assembly comprises: a first sensor adapted for detecting proper placement of the fluid container based on the magnetic material positioned at the bottom of the fluid container, wherein the first sensor is a Hall effect sensor used for detecting a magnet within a base of the fluid container; and a user interface (2772, 2774) coupled to the valve enabling selection of at least a fluid container size and a dispensing mode. a first sensor adapted for detecting proper placement of the fluid container based on the magnetic material positioned at the bottom of the fluid container, wherein the first sensor is a Hall effect sensor used for detecting a magnet within a base of the fluid container; and a user interface (2772, 2774) coupled to the valve enabling selection of at least a fluid container size and a dispensing mode.
