Clean your threads good, or they'll tend to leak.
You'll need to open those 3 valves after every use, or water will collect and when you drain nasty black water will come out. If under pressure it'll spray out and get on the wall.
I'd get rid of the valves and mount it on the wall perpendicular to how it's in the the pic and angle the pipe a bit so water has to drain to the tank, or out the filter, where there should be a water separator.
You may want to put a valve before the regulator. I also used a union after the valve so I can remove the various filters and regulator.
