Refilling when it should Sucking Water out of Salt Tank ( Brine Rinse cycle ) Fleck Valve
When Water is coming out of the Valve during the Brine Rinse Cycle ( when suction should be drawing water out, NOT putting water in ), there are several things to check / look for as the source of the problem.

First, NOTE: There are several causes of High Water in the Brine Tank,
SEE: HIGH WATER IN BRINE TANK - PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
But if you suspect an internal leak, or you have ruled out simple clogs or loose fitting, then you need to look a little further. Internal leakage would be visible, in the form of Scratched Main Piston ( any Fleck model ), or damaged ( visibly noticeable ) or dried out ( due to age - over 10 years or more )rubber SEALS ( in the Seals & Spacers area of the Main Piston ), or Visibly cracked Injector Nozzle or Throat ( you must remove BOTH for proper inspection, as it would be either portion damaged ). SEE: INSPECTING INJECTOR AND SCREEN VIDEO
If the parts check out, then it's time to check out your Drain Flow. You need to check the flow rate ( at the very END of your drain hose ). It should be 2 gpm ( average 9" diameter tank used, 8" = 1.5 gpm , 10" = 2.4 gpm ) during BACKWASH cycle ( not the Brine Rinse cycle, as that is always 50% less than the BACKWASH flow rate ). If it is less, then the problem will be either the Drain Hose is partially clogged ( deposits of hardness and iron can build up inside over the years ), OR something is partially blocking the small hole in your DLFC Button.
