You can use the the filter without the heater but not without the stand pipe.

The top of the stand pipe has a spring loaded valve. When you screw down on the filter cap the filter pushes down on the top of the standpipe to open the valve. I believe the valve is there to keep crap from entering the stand pipe when the filter is removed and to keep it from being run without the filter. I am sure this will also help hold the filter in place.
