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 to dry everything up. Called Tom Raper in Richmond, IN and they had one canister in stock so we ran down to get it. All in all we were very lucky. I know many people turn off the water every time they leave, and we are now joining that group. It was a clean break just beyond the threads. Pretty bizarre.

This is not unusual with cheap filter housings. If I was you, I certainly wouldn't use the same brand as a replacement.
