I saw a picture on Walmart website of a filter change of the ST9972. Impressive!

2 cm shorter overall, or you talking about the only the length of the media itself between the end caps. If the latter, read dnewton3's post again.

Yes, end cap to end cap is what I was referring to. I can look for the filter and take pictures if I can find it later.

The construction of many recent ST filters seems to be fairly robust, appearing desirable. Unfortunately, the filtration efficiency leaves something to be desired.

OTOH ... given the potential leak paths in other brands, I'm not sure that the above critique even matters these days. Pretty much most filters are a far cry from what we BITOGers find acceptable.

Filtration efficiency rating is 99% at 30 microns. Is this not good enough?

The ST10295 are back to the cellulose looking filters at my WM. 1 of the white filter media out of 6 filters on the shelf.
