Can someone help with with why my tank is filling with too much water, when it started with no water, every regen it creeps up
AUTOTROL 255
1-Cuft Tank

Problem(s): No soft water coming from softener(fixed?), Then brine level rising
Looked at:
Took it all apart
Fixed
Solutions
The only two things I haven't replaced are Brine Draw Assy, and Flappers. Which one is more probable for the cause?
Can anyone help -- please? I have bad eczema, and need this working on a budget. or I would have replaced the whole thing.

Looked at:
- Valve and Valve body, flappers looked a little deteriorated
- Full Regen Cycle - Looks OK - Brine Tank drains, Brine Tank fills, Goes to Resin Tank,
6" water out 6" water in, Now fills way more, and doesn't draw - Bypass is not on -- just for the people thinking this is a duh question.
- Appliances have a chalky substance on them, Drains/Grout becoming browned.
- Hardness of water is 24-26, Softener set at 8, Regen 2x a week.
- Apartment - just me and the fiancee, Laundry ensuite 1-3x/wk use, dishwasher 1x/wk use
Took it all apart
- Broken basket near top of valve head,,, looks like it was glued (was NOT filled with resin when lifted out initially)
- The resin was at half of the tank, just barely over, and there was black bits in it
- The tank is orange around the parts where the water 'used' to once sit -- Bleach? Procedure? Cleaning Needed?
- Bypass assembly put back on just to acquire water flow in the house while softener is out of commission. No leak in the bypass.
- Cleaned out the vavle body and made sure all O-rings were okay, all good.
- Washed out screen as mentioned before. Injector not grimy or dirty,
- One last thing checked -- proper hook up into the system is incorrect,
Fixed
- Plumbing I know its not perfect ie, shutoff valve to water heater. Has been fixed since picture.
- Replaced the media inside the resin tank and rebuilt, made sure tube didnt move etc.
- Tefloned and siliconed everything for a nice and tight fit
- Getting softwater now (because of charged resin(new) or because of working softener -- time will tell)
