RO + Ionizer. One machine.

Udaka.

I'm-Possible. Built in RO.

SOMAWA Udaka installed in an Indian kitchen — RO and ionizer in one unit

2 → 1

Two machines. Two pipes. Two maintenance schedules. Now, one.

Every Indian home with hard water runs the same equation: an RO for safety, then an ionizer for health. Two machines. Two installations. Two service cycles. Two points of failure. Udaka eliminates the equation entirely.1

-800 mV

Negative ORP

From 3,000 TDS borewell water to -800 mV in one pass.

1,500 PPB

Molecular Hydrogen

Purified, restructured, and hydrogenated. One machine.

Up to 3,000

TDS

The widest input range in the SOMAWA family.

The Frustration

Two machines under your counter is not a solution. It is a compromise.

An RO under the sink. An ionizer on the counter. Different brands. Different service schedules. Different points of failure. One breaks, the other becomes useless. This is how most Indian homes with hard water live today.

You did not want two machines. You wanted one outcome — clean, healthy, restructured water. Udaka starts from that outcome and works backward.

"The best engineering does not add complexity. It removes it."

Consolidation

RO purification. Ionization. One integrated system.

Udaka does not bolt two systems together. It integrates them. Water enters at up to 3,000 TDS. The built-in RO stage removes contaminants. The ionization stage restructures what remains. One input pipe. One output tap. One machine to maintain.2

7-litre integrated storage. 75 litres per hour flow rate. The entire process — purification to ionization — happens inside a single unit that fits where your old RO used to sit.

The Science of Ionization

Minerals aren't the problem.
They're the entire point.

Every ionizer on earth works the same way: electric current passes through minerals dissolved in water. No minerals, no current. No ionization.

Udaka's RO stage

Removes contaminants.
Keeps essential minerals.

The integrated RO stage strips out heavy metals, chlorine, bacteria, and dissolved impurities. But it doesn't strip everything. Calcium, magnesium, potassium — the minerals your body needs — remain in the output water at safe, measurable levels.

Udaka's ionization stage

Passes current through those minerals. Restructures the water.

Electric current flows through the dissolved minerals — splitting water at the electrode surface, generating molecular hydrogen, shifting pH, and reversing the oxidative charge. The minerals are the conductors. Without them, this is just a box with plates inside.

One machine. RO purifies. Ionization restructures. The minerals your RO kept are exactly what make ionization possible.

Hydrogen

1,500 PPB molecular hydrogen. From the hardest water in India.

Udaka doesn't just purify. It restructures — unlocking 1,500 PPB of molecular hydrogen from the water itself. The same molecule found in the world's most revered natural springs, now produced from water your RO stage already purified.3

Eight glasses a day. 30,000 glasses a year. 7.5 lakh glasses over the life of this machine. Every single one hydrogenated.

Why Hydrogen

The smallest antioxidant in the universe.

0.27 nanometres. Crosses the blood-brain barrier where Vitamin C and E cannot. Selective — targets only harmful radicals, leaves beneficial ones untouched.4

pH

Five waters. From the hardest source water in India.

Selectable pH from 5.5 to 10.5. Udaka handles the entire journey — from 3,000 TDS borewell water to pH-adjusted, hydrogen-rich, restructured water.

Neutral pH for medications and infant formula. When precision matters, Udaka gives you water that does not interfere — clean, balanced, exactly 7.5.

Engineering

Sintered at 1,200°C. Five platinum plates. No compromises.

The ionization stage inside Udaka is not a scaled-down version of anything. Five platinum-titanium plates fused in a vacuum furnace at 1,200°C — atomic-level bonding. The same AFS self-cleaning technology, the same IONIQ calibration as the standalone Amara. The RO stage purifies. The ionizer restructures. Built for a million glasses.

FAQ

Common questions.

Yes. Udaka is a complete RO + ionizer in one machine. It handles purification and restructuring in a single unit — no need for a separate RO. One machine, one tap, one installation.
Udaka is built for input water up to 3,000 TDS. This covers borewell water, high-TDS municipal supply, and most Indian water conditions where an RO is essential.
Udaka purifies and ionizes water, then stores it in an integrated 7-litre tank. The water is ready on demand — your family can fill glasses instantly without waiting for the purification cycle.
Udaka measures 400 × 325 mm and weighs 12 kg. It is larger than a basic RO unit because it houses both the RO membrane and the ionization chamber with five platinum-titanium plates. The SOMAWA technician will assess your kitchen space during installation.
No. A single SOMAWA technician handles all maintenance — filter replacements, RO membrane checks, and ionizer plate cleaning (which is automatic via AFS). One service visit covers everything.

1 Based on the common Indian household setup where TDS exceeds 200 ppm, requiring separate RO purification before ionization can be effective.

2 Udaka integrates RO membrane purification and platinum-electrode electrolysis in a single housing. Input water up to 3,000 TDS is first purified, then ionized in sequence.

3 Natural hydrogen-rich springs typically contain 0.2-0.8 PPB dissolved hydrogen. SOMAWA Udaka produces up to 1,500 PPB.
