Water filter canister broke apart on its own
Luckily we were in the trailer when it happened. Boom. The canister completely fractured at the top and fell to the floor. Shut off the water, cleaned up the mess and ran a fan the rest of the day ...

Yes, I have a Watts regulator. I am at my seasonal site and have spent more than 500 nights here. After 4 years and 11,000 miles it just had enough I guess. One of those things that just happens and you can't explain it.
Thanks for clarifying. I find that many times on these fora pertinent facts are omitted from the initial post and it is usually only after the OP returns to clarify that the root cause can be determined. Thanks for following up.
It certainly looks like the canister failed possibly due to age. I don't know how easiy it is to replace the whole unit but on my Flagstaff it is easily accessible, and were I you I'd probably change it out for one that has maybe a different material for the canister.
