Global Water Testing Study

Pre-screener to be considered

SIS International is currently conducting a research study about commercial water testing facilities in the US and various international markets.

We are providing a $200 compensation if you qualify, are selected, and complete a Zoom video interview.

The purpose of the 20 - 30 minute interview is to gain insights on the type of water analysis equipment that each international company uses and understand their benefits. The interview is confidential and for research purposes only.

If you’re interested, we first would like to see if this study is a fit. Please take the pre-screening survey below to be considered.
