My Story
Hello and welcome! My name is Kairy, and I am the proud solo Latina owner of I.B. ClearWater. While this store has been a cherished staple in our Imperial Beach community for seven wonderful years, my own personal journey with it began just three years ago. Back then, I wasn't looking to buy a business; I was simply a customer, just like you, searching for something better for myself and my family. I had spent months sampling water from various stores across San Diego, trying to find a source that didn't just claim to be clean, but actually tasted clean. Time and time again, I found myself driving back to this exact spot. Why? Because I.B. ClearWater simply had the best-tasting, highest-quality water in the entire region. It was crisp, refreshing, and consistent. When I learned the business was for sale in January 2025, I didn't see it as just a financial investment; I saw it as a calling to preserve something special. By February 2025, I officially became the sole owner, and every day since, I have been honored to continue the legacy of excellence that this store represents.
My Mission & Purpose: Your Health, Our Priority
My mission is simple yet vital: to provide our community with the absolute best clean, purified,
and alkaline water available. We all know the challenges we face with municipal tap water in San
Diego. It’s not just about preference; it’s about peace of mind. Many of us worry about
undetectable microplastics, the risk of lead leaching from aging infrastructure and old pipes,
and the harsh, chemical taste of chlorine that often lingers in our glasses. And let's not
forget the "hardness"—the mineral buildup that ruins coffee makers and affects the taste of
everything we cook. I believe you deserve better. I am here to provide a healthy, delicious
alternative that you can trust implicitly.
A Comprehensive Range of Premium Products
We offer more than just refills. For those who value purity in every form, we provide
crystal-clear purified ice — perfect for parties. Our container selection is unmatched: we carry
standard 2, 3, and 5-gallon water jugs, eco-friendly 3 and 5-gallon glass carboys, and
convenient 1-gallon glass jugs. We even stock sports bottles, fridge bottles with spigots,
stylish water crock pots, and durable floor stands. Plus, we have a convenient 24/7 outside
water vending machine for after-hours needs.
A Vision for the Future
I am incredibly excited about the next 2-5 years. I am actively exploring plans to launch our
own line of bottled canned water and offer personal brand labeling services for local businesses
and events. I am also working towards expanding with a dedicated delivery service and hope to
see our water in local food trucks and supermarkets soon.
