The easiest way to boost immunity and get your health back by doing what you already do every single day - Drinking Water.
Welcome to the health transformation that you simply won’t be able to give up on!
Everyone wants to enjoy better health. We all know the drill:
- Eat better
- Exercise more
- Sleep early
Easy to say. Hard to do.
Big changes and new resolutions are great - until they get forgotten and stop happening.
Are you still wondering if Sküma is real? Go ask all the coffee lovers who have seen it at the Manchester Coffee Festival 2021.
No installation required.
- Just put Sküma on your kitchen counter.
- Fill up the water tank.
- Slot it back in and start drinking.
Sküma’s commitment to a hassle-free user experience means no more complicated buttons or settings.
You only have 3 buttons to tap.
1) Temperature:
95°C (203°F) if you need boiling water for cooking or brewing light-medium roasts
85°C (185°F) for dark roasts
75°C (167°F) for tea
50°C (122°F) for maximum body hydration
Cool temperature by default
2) Volume:
250mL (8.45oz) - One standard cup
350mL (11.83oz) - A typical mug
500mL (16.9oz) - Bowls or refillable bottles
1000mL (33.81oz) - Jugs or larger bottles
3) Dispense:
Press the water dispensing button:
Once for electrolyte water, or
Hold the button for 2 seconds for pure reverse osmosis water without the minerals.
Once you’ve selected your temperature and volume, it’s time for the best water you’ve ever had in your life!
Don’t guess what’s in your water. Zoom in on the minerals you need most.
Sküma has a range of electrolytes extracted for your well-being.
Our flagship liquid concentrate is 001 containing Magnesium and Potassium.
These two minerals are an integral part of your diet and becoming harder to find in everyday foods.
It’s a good place to start since up to 75% of Americans are not meeting their recommended intake of magnesium.*
Do you have specific mineral and vitamin needs?

Reverse osmosis systems are very effective at purifying water. But they are wasteful.
For every 1 liter of purified water, you’ll get 4 liters of waste water.
Sküma uses a revolutionary reverse osmosis technology that reverses the ratio, saving an enormous amount of water!
It’s good for the environment. It’s good for your water bill!
Sküma’s commitment to eco-friendly sustainability means that “waste water” isn’t actually wasted.
Sküma's waste water is suitable for your plants and garden. It fills up in a handy little tank, which you can detach with ease.
Typical reverse osmosis systems use 3 separate cartridges for filtration.
Sküma's “3-in-1” super-filter is hyper efficient and tightly condensed.
When you invest in Sküma’s health-boosting electrolyte water, you’re saving yourself money, time, and that precious kitchen counter space!
It’s so convenient, you’ll only ever have to replace one single cartridge every 12 months without any maintenance.
All while reducing waste and ensuring the tiniest of carbon footprints.
Love recycling? We do too!
Sküma’s mineral concentrate comes to you in a reusable glass bottle.
You can use it for anything - but we created these with propagating your plants in mind!
Water them with your “waste water” - Now that’s what you call full circle sustainability!
Each bottle of liquid concentrate will infuse 550 cups of water with essential electrolytes.
At just 9 cents a cup, that’s an investment for your family you can’t afford not to make!
All mammals have an ancient, instinctual, and intrinsic longing for electrolytes to keep them going.
Ever seen deer, horses, or cows gathering around a salt lick?
Humans are no different. As hunter-gatherers, our ancestors would seek out minerals through the food and water in their surroundings.
About 14,500 years ago, the first settlements arrived at the Great Basin.
Utah’s Great Salt Lake became an essential source of nutrition for these hunter-gatherers.
Formed in the late Pleistocene Epoch about 30,000 years ago, Utah’s Great Salt Lake is one of the world’s saltiest bodies of water. It’s salty because it does not have an outlet.
Small, connected streams and rivers constantly bring in small amounts of dissolved salt as they flow in.
Once the water is in the Great Salt Lake, it evaporates, leaving only the salt and its various, valuable minerals.
In this way, more than 2 million tons of minerals are added to the lake each year.
Since the water has nowhere to go, thousands of years' worth of rich, concentrated, and potent nutrients remain in the lake.
The Great Salt Lake is brimming with essential electrolytes we no longer find in modern food and water.
3 out of 4 people suffer from an electrolyte deficiency*.
Monoculture, climate change and over-processing have led to food depletion in the modern age.
The food you eat today has lower levels of nutrients than the food your parents and grandparents ate.
Alarmingly, 60% of the American diet is composed of ultra-processed foods.*
The more ultra-processed foods you eat, the lower your levels of vitamins A, C, D and E, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium. *
At the same time, your tap water contains added chemicals like:
- Chlorine
- Fluoride
- Aluminum sulfate
As well as heavy metals and contaminants such as:
Reverse osmosis removes impurities from your water and the strong taste of chemicals. But it also strips away every single electrolyte in your water, leaving you with what is essentially battery water.
It’s great water if you’re a car! Sure, it still quenches your thirst. But there is nothing in reverse osmosis water that can add to your health.
The beauty of Sküma is two-fold:
- Sküma uses reverse osmosis technology to remove everything you shouldn’t be drinking.
- Then adds essential electrolytes into your drinking water.
All with a tap of a button!
What’s important to you is important to us.

Your body is naturally made to absorb micronutrients in food and water.
The easier the food is to breakdown, the more efficiently your body will absorb nutrients.
Water is therefore an ideal vehicle for essential nutrient transport.
Sküma’s liquid concentrate ensures you get an accurate infusion of electrolytes in every single glass.
We are the only liquid re-mineralization reverse osmosis system in the world that consistently gives you precision in flavor, color, odor and electrolyte levels, every single time.

Whew! It’s been a total of 962 days since we started on our Sküma journey.
That’s 4,800 hours that we’ve worked on transforming our idea of better water into a company that can bring it to you!
Sküma is the brainchild of two of the most influential and creative London based innovation hubs:
-
The Design Council - Which has been the source of some of the UK’s most innovative product designs.
-
The Alloy - An award-winning product design agency which has been delivering results for global brands and ambitious start-ups through product and digital development for 20 years.
Sküma was created in association with industry professionals, designers, and manufacturers in the water wellness space.
We’ve tried and tested iteration after iteration, and conducted manufacturability assessments through our Hong-Kong based manufacturing partners Osmosis Wellness Hong-Kong Ltd.
With over 10 years of experience in developing, manufacturing, and supplying innovative reverse osmosis systems throughout South East Asia, Sküma is backed by a wealth of design, product knowledge, and manufacturing experience that makes our vision possible.
1 in 3 people do not have access to safe drinking water*.
The Sküma vision is to provide a solution that works in every country - regardless of local tap water quality. Here’s how:
- High level filtration: Reverse osmosis is the technology which can make even the most unsafe water drinkable. Sküma’s challenge is to make it affordable, accessible, and waste-free.
- Health-specific mineralization: Why buy bottled and add plastic to landfills when better water is a fraction of the price? Sküma has the know-how to transform any water into a sustainable source of nutrition.
- Our next challenge is to get the word out and educate the public!
While we started Sküma with nothing more than a dream and our wits, we were fortunate to connect with partners who understood our vision and supported it from the very beginning.
Today, we are thrilled to have reached a milestone in Sküma’s development. This is where we finally get to share what we’ve built with you. Where you’ll get to share the idea of better water for a better life with your friends and acquaintances. So together, we can bring as many people as we possibly can into living this idea of sustainable, healthy water for a global future.
We’re on Indiegogo because there’s no better way to reach like-minded people like you. To make this vision a reality, we need your help. Specifically, we need 3 things to make good global water happen:
- We need your feedback
- We need your enthusiasm, and
- We need enough funding to get Sküma manufactured and right onto your kitchen counter
We’d like you to use Sküma. Tell us your thoughts. Tell your friends, family, and social media contacts all about Sküma, what we do, and what we represent.
To do this, make a pledge today.
