The O.B. Water Store

This review is long over-​due. Having known Nick and his family ever since he took over the business years ago, I have to say that this is one operation you can TRUST. They go above and beyond 5-​star customer service and take great pride in keeping up with their water filter changes and upkeep. SUPER CLEAN and just a pleasure to do business with, I’ll support them for as long as I live in San Diego.

We love getting our water from here! They have a clean and simple filtration system and Alkanine station setup inside where you can fill up your empty bottles. Next to that station is where you can flip your bottle over to give it a nice rinse before filling it up. The store also provides flatbed carts to help carry your bottles to your car provided that they are returned after you unload them into your vehicle.
On the exterior wall of the store are 2 water dispensers where you can also refill your empty bottles. The store sells everything you need to house your water supply. You can also ask about their pre-​paid system which can save you time and money during each visit. Their water taste very clean and crisp which keeps us coming back for more. This is our preferred water store and we will continue to drive out here for as long as they are around.

This place honestly has the best water around! you can honestly taste the difference when you fill up here as opposed to filling up at one of those water kiosk around town. The water just taste pure and clean and nothing can compare to it. The staff are always friendly here too, and always ask if i need help taking out my gallons to my car. I’ve been coming here forever and will continue to do so!

Nick, Jenine and their dedicated staff are awesome! The water is really wet:) and bar none, the best H20 you can find anywhere in the County. Go get your water there, you will not be disappointed.

This local water store is great. The owners and employees are super friendly and helpful. Prices are excellent too. We like the John Ellis water. Our ice maker broke and recently had to make our own cubes. Check out the ice cubes made with the John Ellis water. I had seen pictures of this on the internet before but was made a believer today!

I just love this place the people are friendly and very nice to everyone that walk thru their doors. I checked online for 5 gallon bottles and believe it or not O.B. water store is cheaper… The cost per gallon is less the a 1.5 liter of water. best part is that its right down the road from my place.

You want to live better, drink clean water, these guys get the good stuff. Stay away from sodas and other junk. Yeah OB water store

Great system, great tasting water, friendly people. Pre-​pay system. Love it!

Best water in town! I even had a Culligan water guy test it and he said it was amazing. Fuel your body with nothing but the best, keep it healthy! :). #Alkaline is my fav

I really like the OB water store. Small business selling a quality product for sure! Their filtration and dispensing setup is great. I love the cleaner stations that wash your bottles. It’s a bit of a trip for me so I don’t go every time I need water, but since moving to their new location it is definitely more convenient. The parking lot at the old place was a nightmare.

I just discovered this great little treasure of a store. They relocated into my Souplantation plaza. I have been trying to decide on a permanent water solution for the family which includes a finicky dog that hasn’t drank the water willingly since we relocated from the east coast. The owner was kind, informative and answered our questions when we walked in. He also gave us a free gallon to try. That’s how confident he was in our return…
He was right, the water was great! Tastes great, smells great and best of all we didn’t have to force it down our dogs throat! She loved it.
For $.40/​gallon it is a steal for our new peace of mind.
We use about 13 gallons/​week too.

Our second visit to the store was with our 5 gallon containers which had a distinct odor to them and the young woman there not only showed us how to clean them out with a paper towel and water but explained the difference in plastic levels, such education who knew?

Great water! Great price and soon to come a better location.

Best water in San Diego. The owner is also super friendly and helpful.
Learn about alkaline water it will change your life.

I like that they offer the best water filtration available, there are three options:
— 8 step osmosis
— alkalized water
— living water
I buy the cheap stuff but I’ve heard that living water is excellent for people who are athletes, or ill. they are usually the ones who can tell the difference between the different waters.
BUY LOCAL!

Love this little treasure near Rob Field! I’m a self-​admitted tree hugger. If it can be recycled, rest assured I will make sure it finds its «home.» So, keeping plastic bottles out of our landfills is a huge part of that. The OB water store makes that happen for me and at a very cheap cost. They even have a container cleaning station with O2! BRILLIANT!
The guy that is usually there is absolutely great! He even takes the bottles to my car after I pay. They take CCs or debit card. Cash makes it a bit cheaper for you.
I will say that I like the prepaid system that The Water Lady in North Park with customer accounts. You pay $XX amount up front and get a discount. When it comes time to «pay» for your water, they just deduct it from your prepaid amount. OB Water store may have this already, but I’m unaware of such a thing.

Best. Water. Ever.
Just piling on here but since the owners just had a baby and work super hard to keep their facility clean and welcoming, they deserve mas kudos.

Been getting water here for the last few years, just forgot to review them I guess.
To think I spent SO much money and harmed the environment by all the water I used to buy!
This is a fraction of the cost, tastes SO clean and good and I’m super picky how my water tastes.
4 gallons every couple of weeks for only $ 1.40? I give ‘em $ 2 and tell ‘em to keep the change… cause that’s how I roll.

This place rocks. Don’t drink Fouridated water. Cleanse yourself of evil chemicals and be healthy! It’s only a few blocks away from me so I can walk there. Perfect!

I love the OB Water and Ice Store b/​c:
1. It is clean, cheap, great water
2. Staff is very friendly and helpful (especially Nick the co-​owner-​he carries my water to the car for me!)
3. It’s a chill environment/​laid back (of course, it’s in OB)
4. Sarah, one of the girls who works there, teaches yoga outback on an outdoor deck and she’s an awesome teacher
Keep up the good work guys!

Yep, the OB Water Store is pretty much as awesome as everyone else says it is.
I was SO sick of drinking city water that I really needed to get something else going. Visited the OB Water Store & they hooked me up with a crock & stand + 3×3-gallon BPA-​free (woohoo!) water jugs. And, I got my fill-​up for free because we’re first-​timers! The girl working there was super friendly & helpful. I’m in love with my new system already, and since I work in OB (and hope to live there soon), this place is very convenient for me.
They really know their stuff when it comes to water, and it’s not going to be an expensive upkeep. I’m willing to invest a bit of money in good water, because it’s the main beverage I drink. Plus, this is way more eco-​friendly than buying small bottles, and it’s much more affordable, too.
Visit the water store! Get educated, and get some delicious water. :)
PS: Yay, my 500^th review was for a water store ;) love it.
