In the title hydrated molecular salt, C2H10N22+·2C8H9N2O4-·H2O, an intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bond occurs in the anion, forming an S(7) ring. The -CO2 and -CO2H groups make dihedral angles of 3.2 (2) and 2.0 (3)°, respectively, with the five-membered ring. In the crystal, N-H...O, N-H...N and O-H...O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. The methyl group in the anion is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.716 (9):0.284 (9) ratio. The ethylenediamine cation is generated by symmetry and the water molecule lies on a twofold axis.
