# SOMAWA — Soul of Water

> SOMAWA is India's science-backed, indigenously manufactured alkaline water ionizer brand. SOMAWA ionizers produce alkaline, hydrogen-rich, restructured water with a selectable pH range and negative ORP. SOMAWA is incubated under the National Research & Development Corporation (NRDC), Government of India, Ministry of Science & Technology. Manufactured in India by Icpure India Pvt Ltd.

SOMAWA designs and manufactures countertop and under-counter alkaline water ionizers for Indian homes. Each machine lets the user select the water type by pH for different daily uses. The brand's institutional backing is NRDC (National Research & Development Corporation), a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Science & Technology. SOMAWA presents customer experiences as individual experiences and does not make clinical or medical claims; its products are wellness devices, not medical treatments.

## Journal — educational guides (water science)
- [What Is ORP in Water?](https://somawa.com/journal/what-is-orp-in-water): ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) explained — why almost all Indian water reads about +200 mV, what negative ORP means, and how to measure it.
- [The pH of Everything You Drink](https://somawa.com/journal/ph-of-everything-you-drink): The pH of chai, RO water, coffee, cola, nimbu paani and more — and the ideal pH range (8.5–9.5) for drinking water. Clear that drinking alkaline water does not change blood pH.
- [Molecular Hydrogen Water](https://somawa.com/journal/molecular-hydrogen-water): The smallest molecule, 1,300+ peer-reviewed papers since 2007, and the one number to ask any brand for (ppb). Explicitly: exploration, not proven cure.
- [What Your RO Removes](https://somawa.com/journal/what-your-ro-removes): How RO strips calcium and magnesium along with contaminants, WHO guidance on minimum minerals (30 mg/L calcium, 10 mg/L magnesium), and why "right TDS" beats "zero TDS".
- [ORP क्या है? (Hindi)](https://somawa.com/journal/orp-kya-hai): ORP explained in Hindi — the same guide as the English ORP article, written natively for Hindi readers.
- [Is Alkaline Water a Scam?](https://somawa.com/journal/is-alkaline-water-a-scam): An honest look — which claims deserve doubt (disease cures, MLM), which properties are real and measurable, and how to verify for yourself.
- [SOMAWA Review](https://somawa.com/journal/somawa-review): What the ionizer measurably does, real prices, service, and how to verify every claim — including the cons.
