The invention relates to an aircraft potable water supply system allowing unused water to be recovered for later use. The system prevents cross contamination of potable water, waste water and foul water, drains down the entire system upon aircraft shutdown and refills the system in preparation for a resumption of service. The system includes a manifold (24) comprising a potable water inlet port (26), first and second self-sealing water flow control valves (72a, 72b) to which individual water filter cartridges (76) are removably connected, said first and second self-sealing water flow control valves (72a, 72b) distribute potable water to individual outlet ports, a water distribution valve (27) distributes potable water to said flow control valves (72a, 72b), each of which being configured to move to the open configuration when a water filter cartridge (76) is installed, and to move to the closed configuration when a water filter cartridge (76) is removed.
