I had a household type in line filter with a paper element freeze. After
it thawed, it would no longer pass anything, including water. The wet
fibers apparently swelled when they froze, creating a solid barrier.

Hi,
I strong suggest NOT allowing any type of filter to freeze once it has
had water in it. Holes are created in the filter medium.
I am involved with two land based water purification systems sourcing
from lake water and one from a cistern. It has has been an
interesting learning curve involving filtering and UV treatment
compared to "Water Makers" using reverse osmosis.
