Expert & Reliable Water Quality Services
To get water that's cleaner and better tasting, bottled water is not your only option. Our pros can install a drinking water system for your home.
Hard water can cause dry skin, rough linens and can even shorten the life of appliances. We can install a water softener to remedy these problems.
If your water smells or looks odd, you may need to have your well water treated. We can test your well water and then treat it so you have clean water.
Your standards for water quality might be different than that of your municipality. We install whole home filtration systems to meet your needs.
The San Antonio Water Challenge: The Edwards Aquifer Reality
In San Antonio, “hard water” isn’t just a nuisance—it is a structural threat. Sourced primarily from the limestone-rich Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio water contains some of the highest concentrations of calcium and magnesium in the United States. This mineral content creates Limestone Scale that clogs plumbing, destroys water heaters, and reduces the efficiency of your home’s “Mechanical Envelope.” At ABC, we provide a Total Water Audit to identify the specific mineral and chemical profile of your supply, ensuring a tailored solution for your Bexar County home.
Master-Level Water Engineering
Our water quality division is directed by Senior Branch Manager Steven Meyer who leads a team that prioritizes Mineral Management. Under his leadership, ABC San Antonio specializes in “High-Efficiency Ion Exchange” and “Reverse Osmosis” technology. Steven ensures that every system is calibrated for the specific hardness levels of your San Antonio neighborhood, ensuring your soft water system doesn’t waste salt or water—a critical factor for SAWS compliance.
Comprehensive Water Quality Solutions
Our licensed specialists provide expert care for your home’s hydration and plumbing health:
- Water Softener Installation: Utilizing pro-grade ion exchange systems to remove “Hard Water” minerals before they enter your home’s pipes.
- Whole-Home Water Filtration: Removing chlorine, chloramines, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to provide bottled-water quality from every tap.
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems: Point-of-use purification for kitchens and drinking stations, removing 99% of dissolved solids and contaminants.

- Commercial Water Treatment: Large-scale softening and filtration for San Antonio restaurants, hotels, and industrial facilities.
The “Structure-First” Water Quality Audit
Poor water quality is a primary driver of structural plumbing failure. Every service begins with a Structure-First Water Quality Audit. Championed by Steven Meyer, this audit identifies if your water chemistry is “aggressive” (corrosive) or “scaling.” We evaluate the impact your water is having on your home’s internal infrastructure, from your tankless water heater’s heat exchanger to the seals in your plumbing fixtures. We protect the “bones” of your home by balancing the water within them.
The Foundation Integrity Audit for Moisture Safety
In San Antonio’s shifting clay soils, the discharge from water softeners and filtration systems must be managed correctly. Every project includes a Foundation Integrity Audit. We ensure that your system’s “Regeneration Discharge” is properly routed into the sanitary sewer or a designated drain, preventing the localized soil saturation that causes foundation “heave.” We protect your slab by managing the water cycle of your filtration system with absolute precision.

San Antonio Water Quality FAQ
San Antonio water typically registers between 15 to 20+ grains of hardness per gallon, which is classified as “Very Hard.” Without a softener, this minerals will eventually lead to the failure of your water heater and dishwashers. Under the direction of Steven Meyer, we test your water on-site to show you exactly what your grain-count is.
A softener specifically removes “Hard Water” minerals (calcium and magnesium) that cause scale. A filter removes chemicals like chlorine, lead, and pesticides. In San Antonio, ABC often recommends a “Dual-Stage” system to provide both structural protection for your pipes and high-quality drinking water for your family.
Yes. Our technicians are trained to repair and calibrate most major brands of softeners. Whether you need a resin bed cleaning or a valve head repair, we can ensure your existing system is operating at peak efficiency.

Today in particular..., Wil (Wilbur) was quite thorough, very courteous, professional, and patient with all the questions I was asking due to the increase of having to deal with pests because of our current high temperatures here in San Antonio. He took his time and demonstrated a very positive attitude throughout the entire time he was servicing not only the inside of our home but also our yard. I highly recommend this company to everyone- family & friends.”

“ABC Pest control in the only pest control business my family has used in the Boerne and San Antonio areas and they have been treating my house here in San Antonio and literally like clockwork, when the critters start coming out we will get a text from ABC that their coming for their routine spray. My wife told me yesterday she had been seeing more scorpions and bugs and needed to call and schedule. Today I got a text from Daniel that he was on his way. They also provide gps of where they are at on their way to your house and send invoice, etc to email upon completion. ABC has been around and a staple in the SA community for years now and you don’t stay in business that long unless you’re running it the right way with the right people and the right attitude. I can’t speak highly enough of Daniel and any of his team that’s with him. He truly cares, takes his time, and is just good people. You can tell how well a company is doing or will do, I think, by looking at the employees. I’ve never seen Daniel in a bad mood and always kind and asking about the family. As we are now raising our family in this house and learning the ins and outs of home ownership and I find that with pest control and other service type businesses. I don’t go for the fancy product or chemical name, which they are chem free inside the house to make sure the kids and dogs are safe and ok. I genuinely appreciate ABC, Daniel, and the call center team for all the help and service and protection you have provided my family and my moms house in boerne for years and are just consistent, reliable, trustworthy, and true to their word. What more can you ask for from a company and its people. If you’re new to the area, just stop searching and call ABC and save yourself the time and money.”
