Heater install ?

Just want to make sure the pressure switch for the bottle heater goes between the main feedline and where the bottle gets filled??? So technicaly that would mean the bottle has to be open before you should turn on the heater?

That is correct. You could install the pressure switch in the port on the bottle too.

I like the switch on the bottle so it allows the heater to function with the bottle closed.
