The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C6H15NO3)(H2O)2]SO4·H2O, contains a complex cation, a sulfate anion and one uncoordinated water molecule. In the complex cation, the CuII ion is coordinated by five O atoms (three of which are from the triethanolamine ligand and two from coordinated water molecules) and one N atom of the triethanolamine ligand in a typical Jahn–Teller-distorted octahedral geometry. Classical intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the cation, the sulfate anion and the water molecule into a two-dimensional network.
