its a very small pice of plastic and it should be where your rejected water line meets your pressure vessel. you just un s_crew the fitting and pul the line away from the unit and it'll fall out.
yes its a one time thing and they are fairly cheap no more than 10 bucks. just make sure to place the new one in the same way the old one came out or youll blow your tfc membrane

sounds like you need to change your filters 14 is kinda high. contrary (ooh thats not spelled right) to what some people think if your water is really bad 500 tds or more you will still get great water but youll have to swap your filters more often. how old is the unit?
