Water Softener Problem

Well-known member
I got a call today that my brine tank was overflowing. Checked it out and the brine line from one of the tanks was running non stop. It was the tank that was offline, so I just bypassed it for now until I can figure out the issue. I have zero experience working on softeners and was wondering what I should be looking for as the cause?
 
Not sure the brand, but this brine valve was the issue. I got it to work by working the plunger until it got looser, but I need to replace it. Am I able to just replace the plunger assembly, or do I have to replace the whole valve?

It's a Fleck system, you can order every individual part for the brine valve or the whole assembly. I'd take it apart, clean it, and lube the seals with silicone lube.
