It's possible, but not guaranteed. The water heater has a pressure relief valve that will trip if the water pressure exceeds 150 psi. I once owned a water heater where the relief valve was tripping as evidenced by water in the overflow pan, but nothing else in the house seemed to be affected. I installed an expansion tank, and it solved the problem.
I don't think it is proper for Nova to blame high water pressure for a damaged canister, when they really don't know if that is what caused the damage. Even though the canisters are rated at 125 psi, I would expect the canisters to withstand a few pressure spikes that exceed 125 psi.
