It would be the smart thing to do. Just as with a car, you have a gas filter to keep impurities from clogging things up to keep it running good. Same principle with this filter. This filter will keep your line clean, and that's much easier than having a heater go out on you and then you have to troubleshoot to find the problem. I have it on mine for the sake of safety.

James, I assume your heater and your stove are designed to use the 1# canisters of propane and that you will purchase the hose that fits a 20# cylinder and, at the other end, has a fitting that looks like the top of a 1# canister (Hose F273702).That hose feeds high pressure from the tank to the canister connection on your appliance. The appliance has the needed pressure regulator. In this HIGH PRESSURE application, you DO NEED the filter to trap any oil that is leached from the hose in high pressure uses.Jim W

When my 20-lb tank on my grill runs out, instead of going out to fill it and ruining my meal, I just screw this adapter on and then I grab a 1-lb can of propane and screw it onto the other end and I am able to keep on cooking and then fill my 20-lb can later. I hope I have been of help to you.

It works fine with extender hoses made for the purpose. They don't have a regulator but rely on the regulator assembly that comes with the stove. The stove end of the hose simulates the top of a 1# propane tank. The tank end screws onto the tank connector. Another variation connects to a propane tree which connects to the tank. Totally easy, totally safe, designed for that purpose.A 20# tank is not convenient to lug around but lasts a lot longer if you don't have to move it around. There are intermediate size tanks that are a compromise between capacity and weight.

This connects to a standard twenty pound, outdoor grill size propane tank. Look for the "steak saver" adapter for the one pound tanks that are typically used with a camp stove. I have both the hose for my two burner camp stove and the "steak saver" in order to use the smaller tanks. And the "steak saver" really can save your steak when the grill tank runs out too soon.

I use mine for camping, so generally put a full size (bar-b-que) tank underneath it on a camping table or some other flat surface. If you are doing the same, take the depth of the unit in the specifications page.

I don't think it includes an actual "filter", but there may be a screen. This assembly includes everything that is inside the tank, so yes to the regulator and fuel gauge sending unit. It did NOT include a new O-ring, and it was a bit of a problem getting the old one back in place on the cover plate. I would find and buy a replacement O-ring if I did it again. Also be sure the electrical connection is clean and installs correctly.

I have a 10w heater in mine. It fits great with no adjustments necessary. It fits in the same compartment as the flow side of the filter. It keeps my tank at a nice, consistent 78 degrees.

You need to rinse the charcoal filter in cold water before you add it to the tank. It's totally normal.

Yes.. I have both a slim heater and a bubble filter in the back... Works great. I have two of these tanks and my Bettas are both thriving! I will try to attach a pic for you..i hope this helps. I love my Bettas please let me know if u have further questions..

The little tank that is displayed is disposable. It does NOT come with a tank. They are the same tanks used for camp stoves, lights, etc. You can find them in any number of places (they are about $3-4 in my area). You can also buy an adaptor hose to hook this up to the larger, 20lb propane tanks you find on propane grills.

Yes! Make sure you use the appropriate water filter before the water enters the heater.Many good water filters are sold right here on Amazon.

Think so....I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 medium fish and it works fine but for a 20 gallon tank you should get the right sized filter to keep the fish healthy.

Yes, go to a propane store and purchase the correct hose and fittings, or ask them to do it for you. I have a Wave heater in my houseboat and another in my shell camper. I had an RV store install the Wave in my houseboat, and did the camper myself. The installation requires a gas filter, either on the tank or in-line.

Which filter do you have? That will help me help you on the size. As for replacing, you really shouldn't have to unless they tear or perhaps your tank gets really sick so you may want to change if to rid remnants of illness. I changed mine due to a rip and really, really yucky water so we could start with a fresh filter situation.

You might be able to use it. That size turtle is a little big for that size tank. I use two of these filters both in the corners and it works fine. You could try one and see how it goes. If needed, get the second one. Personally, I don't change the filters as often as they recommend and I've been using this system for probably at least 6 years.

The length of this heater is fine. But I had to put the heater into the actual tank...it won't fit in the filter compartment with the filter that comes with the tank. It might fit in there with a smaller sponge filter set-up. Hmmm...I'll have to try that.

If you use the small tanks, make sure you have two available. My buddy works for Ashland propane so we use 50 lb tanks. When we cook for about 300 (wild game feast) we probably use about 8-10 lbs.
