Abstract

Provided is a water supplying apparatus (10) that supplies at least one of cold water, hot water and soda water. The water supplying apparatus includes a cold water tank (13), a soda water manufacturing unit, a gas tank (18) and a soda water valve. A soda water tank (14) stores soda water. A cold water inlet (142) is disposed at a portion of the soda water tank and cold water flows into the soda water tank through the cold water inlet. A carbon dioxide gas inlet (143) is disposed at another portion of the soda water tank and a carbon dioxide gas flows into the soda water tank through the carbon dioxide gas inlet. A mixing floater (145) mixes the carbon dioxide gas and the cold water flowing into the soda water tank. A soda water draw off hole (144) draws off soda water. A water level sensor (147) senses water level inside the soda water tank.
