Yes, you can buy a new canister from WaterPur. The problem begins when your canister explodes and you need a new one quickly. WaterPur is the ONLY supplier of this particular part, which means you will not get a replacement quickly. (I asked for express shipping and was quoted a price of $90 -- and that was for shipping ONLY, not the parts!)
Forest River dealers do not carry these parts in their parts departments. (Believe me, I made a LOT of phone calls and found none!)
Camco filter systems can be found at Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, Camping World and virtually every RV dealer around, for a fraction of the cost.
