In the crystal structure of the title compound, K2[B10O14(OH)4]·H2O, the polyborate [B10O14(OH)4]2− anions are linked together through their common O atoms, forming a helical chain-like structure. Adjacent chains are further connected into a three-dimensional structure by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. The water molecules and potassium cations are located between these chains. Further O—H...O hydrogen bonds occur between the anions and the water molecules
