Can you hook this directly into a water spiggot with a connector or do you need a pressure regulator and filter?

I would think you would need a regulator depending on the pressure at the source. It is also a very small diameter hose, so you will have to use adapt it.

I connected it to standard 1/2" distribution hose using the barbed fittings. The distribution hose is connected directly to city water through the irrigation timer with no regulator, and have had no problems.

I hook it up to a 50' water hose with no pressure regalator in the line. Works fine for two years that way.

it is just a tank with a air valve to fill with air. and a 3/4 or 1inch inlet for water. You would have to put your own pressure gauge. you can put it in line with the water inlet pipe!

After spending some time on the net I have located a source where you can bu the connectors as while as the filter. No other companies seem to offer the connectors. Go to freshwatersystems.com, complete unit is $19.97 for GE water filter

The faucet one is simple. now from a pond you need a container or water bottle and let gravity take over. YouTube has several videos on water filters. Also if you need extra connectors, I got at http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=23885&catid;=743 . It is United States Plastic Corp. under APC Series Acetal Quick Disconnects. they actually have female shut off connectors so if you connect up to a bladder or other you can disconnect it without the water still streaming out.

No, a power head is not needed. It connects to the aerator. Bubbles create a vacuum which suck up the debris through the tubes and to your filter canister.

Buy a good adapter here and refill your 1lb tanks from a 20 or larger tank. No need for a hose, regulator, filter, or paying $3 a tank. Many places online tell you how to safely do it.

If you need this pressure, then I do not know. But if that's just the pressure comiing from your spigot, be safe by considering a low cost water pressure reducer like the one at this link: Camco 40064 Brass Water Pressure Regulator with Gauge

You'll need to but an air pump to drive this filter. I always get a pump at least one step up from the aquarium size I am setting up. You'll also need an air hose to connect the 2.

I'm not certain, but I used a standard propane tank that they sell for use with grills so I think yours should be the same as far as connecting. I just open the valve all the way and it works ok for me, so I don't think the regulator should pose a problem either.

I suppose you could supply with a water hose, however you need to reduce to a 1/2 gallon a minute in order for it to work properly.

This is a great filter! However, I wanted it to be connected to it's own dedicated water dispenser faucet. The faucet I got off amazon had a 1/4" male thread end (compression thread) and the filter has a 3/8" male end (also compression thread). To make this connection you will need two parts available on amazon. You will need two Watts brand products: Watts LFA154 Female Compression x OD Adapter 1/4-Inch x 3/8-Inch (Fine Thread) Watts LFPBCC12-44 Ice Maker Supply Line, 12-Inch Took me forever to find these fittings to make it work, but I wanted to save somebody else the time and hassle.

no controller needed, can (like mine) be plugged directly into wall for tank circulation

look at AQUATEK they have an adapter for a standard CO2 regulator. I bought the mini AQUATEK CO2 regulator and it fits on the 20oz paintball tank with no adapter.

If you unscrew the end-thingy with the little screen/filter in it, you can buy a hose converter at a hardware store and with it screwed in, you should be able to attach it. Of course, maybe the filter you want to use will fit the threads of the spout as is. I took 2 different hose adapters home because not sure which one would fit, and returned the one that didn't.

No, I did not need a regulator or filter. The only reason I purchased this hose was because I was using a separate 20 lb. tank. If you use the little camping sized propane tanks, you don't need the hose.

The unit requires an electrical plug and ¼" tubing to a water supply. If you remove the top lid there is a ¼" quick connect to a small section of white ¼" tubing that runs out the back of the unit. I removed that piece and replaced it with a long section that I ran to a RO water filter. You could go to a hardware store and get some ¼" icemaker tubing and a fitting to splice it between a cold water shutoff and the supply line of a nearby faucet. Placing a water filter in the line is optional but there is no filter in the unit.

No, you have threaded connectors that will attach to the filter body. However you will have a bit of a plumbing job in connecting your existing input, return and waste water lines to the unit itself.
