The problem itself is clear. We can’t claim to be the first ones who saw it. Water—the
foundation of all wellness—has become seriously compromised. Tap water carries
pesticides, PFAS, heavy metals, pharmaceutical residues, and microplastics. Bottled
water remains wasteful, generic, and often contaminated with BPA.
But knowing what the problem is and providing a world-class solution are two different
things (ask any inventor!). We knew at the outset there had to be a better way, but
creating something truly exceptional takes time, testing, and relentless refinement.
Our first prototypes were actually water distillers designed to create medical-grade
contact lens solutions for eye care. The focus was precise: transform tap water into
multipurpose solutions that met strict medical standards. But then came a crucial
realisation—the same result could be achieved more efficiently through reverse osmosis
technology.
Even more importantly, we recognised that this precise filtration approach could be
applied far beyond the medical field. Why not apply it to something everyone needs
daily to thrive physically and mentally: clean drinking water of the very highest
standard.
This insight transformed our entire development philosophy. We weren't building a
single-purpose water system—we were removing every barrier to better hydration.
Development accelerated as we systematically stripped away every unnecessary
component and doubled-down on the core proposition. This same intense focus got us
thinking about the basis of hydration itself, and how exactly it might be tailored to each
individual. Athletes need different minerals than office workers. People with digestive
issues require different pH levels. Some people need enhanced recovery support while
others prioritise sustained energy.
With the help of sports scientists, nutritionists, health practitioners, and our partners
from The Robertet Group, we came to understand this fundamental truth: Hydration
isn't just about quenching thirst—it's about controlling the foundation of everything else
you do
This same insight crystallised our 3-step protocol: Remove → Add → Boost.
Remove (MY™ Station): Strip away everything harmful.
Add (MY™ Bases): Introduce beneficial minerals essential to the body’s optimal
functioning that also enhance the water’s taste.
Boost (MY™ Boosters): Target specific health goals with functional micronutrients.
Every subsequent decision could now be measured against these three pillars. We had
our framework for systematic refinement. The purest water isn't just H2O—it's H2O
enhanced with the right minerals, vitamins, and micronutrients for the right person at
the right moment.Like our 3-stage reverse osmosis system, we had systematically filtered out every
impurity from our original concept.
Eliminated: Complexity without purpose, generic solutions, maintenance burdens,
guesswork in hydration.
Concentrated: Personalised mineral profiles, targeted functional benefits, effortless
daily integration, measurable health outcomes.
Your Journey Starts Here
It begins with recognising that water deserves the same attention you give to nutrition
and exercise. It doesn’t just quench your thirst, it powers every last cell in your body.
Whether you're an athlete pushing for peak performance, or an individual managing
specific wellness goals, Sküma's customised approach to this cornerstone of health can
make a world of difference.
Just as our own path toward optimisation involved countless iterations, we understand
that true wellness is achieved through constant refinement. This is why our MY™ Bases
and Boosters system is designed to address your precise bodily needs and bolster your
performance on a daily basis.
This same commitment to excellence drives every aspect of Sküma's approach. Just as
we filtered out our earlier assumptions from the design process, today's MY™ Station
removes 99.9% of pesticides, PFAS, and heavy metals from your drinking water. We
refuse to accept a "good enough" philosophy when it comes to water purity. That’s why
we subjected our purification system to one of the most rigorous, independent testing
standards available—COFRAC—a national accreditation body trusted by hospitals,
pharmaceutical labs, and food safety authorities
The result? A hydration system so refined that athletes trust it for peak performance,
health-conscious individuals depend on it to strengthen their wellness foundation, and
high-performance users experience measurable improvements in both hydration
consistency and daily uptake. Because the water you drink is not only your body's
primary building block, it's the foundation of your whole being. That's why we've
pursued the highest standards of purity and created a supremely personalised approach
to hydration—because you deserve nothing less.
