Mindful Water Co. in Idaho Falls

When you've lived in Idaho Falls as long as I have, you get to watch this community grow in all the right ways. New restaurants, new trails, new small businesses started by neighbors chasing something they believe in. Mindful Water Co. is one of those local finds worth knowing about — especially if you're the type who cares about what's actually in your glass.

What Is Mindful Water Co.?

Mindful Water Co. is a locally owned water purification and wellness company right here in Idaho Falls, with a retail spot on Yellowstone Ave. Their focus is simple: deliver ultra-clean, highly filtered water without the plastic waste that comes with a case of bottled water from the store.

Their filtration process is designed to strip out the stuff you don't want in your water — things like microplastics, PFAS, chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, and other contaminants that standard tap filters often miss. The water is then delivered in reusable, hand-etched glass bottles through a simple bottle-swap program, so you're not adding to the mountain of single-use plastic every time you refill.

Why It Fits Idaho Falls

Part of what makes this community special is that people here still care about doing things the right way — supporting neighbors, valuing craftsmanship, and paying attention to quality of life. A locally run water company that prioritizes both health and sustainability fits right into that mindset. It's the kind of small business that reflects what a lot of us love about Southeast Idaho: practical, community-minded, and a little bit intentional about the details.

If you're already thinking about wellness in other parts of your life — clean eating, an active outdoors lifestyle, taking care of your family — clean water is often the piece that gets overlooked. Mindful Water Co. makes it easy to check that box without much extra effort.

Worth a Visit

Whether you're a longtime local or just settling into a new home in Idaho Falls, it's worth stopping by and seeing what they offer. Small, locally owned businesses like this are part of what makes our community feel like a community — not just a place people pass through.


 

I've spent 25+ years serving families across Idaho Falls, Ammon, Shelley, Rigby, and the surrounding areas — not just helping people buy and sell homes, but sharing what makes this place worth putting down roots. If you're curious about the neighborhoods, the local businesses, or the market itself, I'm always happy to talk. 25 years here. Still answering the phone.

Winter is Coming

Winter is Coming!

How to Prepare your Home Before the Snow Hits

It would be so easy to spend every weekend before winter enjoying the sun and soaking up the holiday bliss, but with home homeownership comes responsibilities.  Before the snow comes here is a shortlist of things you need to do to prepare your home for the cold.

 

Rake your leaves:

Besides making memories with your children by jumping into the piles you create, raking your leaves is important for your lawn care.  Leaving leaves will kill your grass and prevent growth once the snow melts.

 

Clean your gutters:

Replacing gutters, roof, siding is a very expensive home project, take the steps to prevent this from happening by cleaning out your gutters as the leaves begin to fall.

 

Check for gaps:

No one likes paying more on their gas or electric bill then they have to.  To prevent your heat from escaping this winter do a thorough check of your windows, door, and around the house to make sure you have no gaps.

 

Bring it in:

Unless you plan on jumping on your trampoline in the snow or sitting in the brisk evening weather, you might want to consider bringing in your outdoor furniture,  This can save you tons of money in the long run since you will be prolonging the life of your things.

 

Shut it down:

Winter in Idaho can be brutal, and the last thing you want is to have your pipes freeze.  Make sure to call the experts to make sure the water from your sprinklers is completely shut and everything is well insulated to prevent a complete disaster later.
