消费者购买净水器时,商家常宣称滤芯可使用一年,但实际使用中因水质等因素寿命大幅缩短。黑猫投诉平台显示相关投诉多达上千条。专家指出,滤芯寿命应以国家标准规定的额定总净水量为准,而非笼统的使用时长。
净水器滤芯寿命暗藏玄机:商家说好用一年,实际用不到一个月。这场使用寿命的“文字游戏”,消费者该怎么避坑?
消费者王先生表示,今年他选购一款饮水机时,看到产品重点介绍配套滤芯耐用性好,商品详情页醒目标注滤芯可使用一年,算下来使用性价比不错,王先生最终花费3200多元下单购机。机器安装初期,出水流量稳定,可仅用一周左右,他就发现机器屏显的纯水滤芯就已经用掉一格。
王先生立刻联系品牌售后询问原因,工作人员判定是当地水质原因,属正常现象,并且还提示了一些缓解损耗的操作方式。
商家给出的属于正常现象的解释,让王先生难以接受。虽然商家也表示可提供退换货,但王先生坦言,选择大几千的饮水机就是为了能喝到更干净的水,没想到遭遇了不愉快的结果,他始终认为是产品本身存在质量和虚假宣传的问题。
记者在黑猫投诉平台以“净水器滤芯”为关键词搜索发现,相关投诉多达上千条,投诉集中在滤芯标称使用寿命和实际使用时长差距巨大、商家宣传隐瞒前置条件、售后责任划分争议等方面。
滤芯到底能用多久,水质会对滤芯寿命产生多大影响?深圳理工大学科普中心主任、分析化学博士杨超表示,市面上不同类型滤芯本身的“纳污”能力、功能定位不同,正常更换周期也存在明显区别。不少消费者习惯性以“几个月、几年”衡量滤芯寿命,而这恰恰是商家宣传容易钻空子的地方。
杨超进一步解释,按照相关国家标准,滤芯性能的核心指标是额定总净水量,单位为升,在规定标准工况下,滤芯持续净化、出水水质达标的前提下,能够处理的总水量,这才是衡量滤芯使用寿命科学、合规的依据。商家笼统宣传“滤芯一年一换”,却不说明是哪一级滤芯、对应的使用条件,本身就很容易误导消费者。
杨超认为,水质差会缩短滤芯寿命,但不能成为商家掩盖产品质量缺陷、虚标参数的挡箭牌,二者有着清晰的区别。正常损耗和质量问题之间的变量,也需要消费者留意。
中国人民大学法学院副教授黄尹旭指出,从法律性质来讲,商家宣传滤芯使用一年,实际使用一个月有可能构成虚假宣传,也可能涉及消费欺诈。
商品宣传话术纷繁复杂,消费者该如何擦亮双眼,避开滤芯消费的陷阱?黄尹旭建议,选购净水器以及配套滤芯时,不要仅盯着商家标注的“使用时长”,下单前主动向商家确认宣传寿命对应的前提条件,不要轻信口头承诺。一旦发现商家存在夸大宣传、虚标滤芯寿命的情况,先和商家协商处理;协商无果,及时通过官方投诉平台,提交保存好的证据,依法主张自身权益。
