As soon as you turn the breaker on for the bay, it immediately triggers the spot free water to spray out the nozzle at high pressure. Can't turn it off by pressing any other button on the bay control box. It keep saying the timer is on but the big display doesn't show any time counting down or anything.
I think it may be a timer problem? Because every other bays works fine.
I'm stumped please help

Are you sure it's spot free running? That would mean the pump is coming on. You would have a relay output stuck closed on the control board, or possibly a bad button.

Yeah it's definitely just the spot free that's coming out. I tried to see if I can reset the timer by having it on and put coins in it and press the stop button, the spray came out a lot less but it's still running the spot free. Then soon as the time runs out the spot free comes back out at full force and bigger spray :/

Where is the relay output on the control board if I may ask? I'm still super new to this whole thing I'm sorry. Is it the computer board that's in the bay and in the box with the coin acceptor? Or is it in the spot free machine

I have no idea what your equipment is so I can't say. It's not the timer or every function would work normally without the timer running.

Despite what you've said, this tells me you're just seeing spray and assuming it's spot free.

Well whenever it's spraying the output spot free machine is also working, pumping out water

On your sfr delivery system you will have a multiplexer of some sort where your signal wires from the bay hook up to tell the unit to turn on. You probably have something out of phase. Last time I saw something like this a customer installed a coin vac system, hooked up the 24VAC hots from two bays to save on timers for the coin vac system and created a grounding loop whenever he shut the breaker off to one bay that was enough to trigger the input of his multiplexer on both his RO and triple foam system. If you have a system where all the commons are shared on the multiplexer and that common comes loose, the same effect can happen.
