Fleck valves use pistons and internal seals to control water flow through the control valve head. When water continuously flows out the drain hose, and the unit has finished the regeneration process ( IN SERVICE position ), it is usually a "bad" or "worn" SEAL, and replacing the Seals & Spacers is required. It is also normal to change the Main Piston at the same time, as age will effect this part over the years, and as long as you have the valve a part, it makes sense to put a new piston in at the same time.
Occasionally, the problem is because the valve is STUCK in Regeneration, and this either means the drive / timer motor has failed, or the valve is in need of new Pistons & Seals due to excessive drag. And this is normal, and comes with age. The harsher the water being treated, the sooner, and more often, this rebuilding would be required to prevent the valve from getting STUCK in one of the regeneration cycles.
