check my edits that I was making probably while you were replying. If the filter is hanging off there as well, then you most likely have all the parts screwed onto to that connection awaiting your use. You just need to unscrew them, assemble them in order on your tubing as I described (adding in the filter in between where shown int he diagram).
I just caught you that you said you don't have that male union. If that is truly the case, this is a special part called a BLFC (Brine Line Flow Control). Appears just like a union, but has a special insert for Flow Control. You can get BLFC for the more common Fleck control valves, but you need to contact your supplier as the insert is specific for your filter.

EDIT: appears Hankcraft duplicated the design of a Flek 5600, and the parts are interchangeable. If so, here is your part that you said you are missing:
