The title compound, sodium ammonium sulfate dihydrate (SASD), NaNH<sub>4</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>·2H<sub>2</sub>O, a synthetic analogue of the mineral lecontite, is a well known ferroelectric. The crystal structure of the paraelectric phase has been re-refined at 170 K on the basis of single-crystal X-ray data, improving the previous study [Arzt & Glazer (1994 ▸). <i>Acta Cryst.</i> B<b>50</b>, 425-431] in terms of accuracy regarding hydrogen-atom positions and thus details of the hydrogen bonding.
