Cal Hyo used in an automatic feeder

[aylad]

so back to the original question, would CH tabs work OK in a brand new, never been used cl220?

Ben's answer to that same question, years ago, was that no, it is not okay to use it, even in a brand new, never been used feeder because the trichlor feeders are not designed to handle the increased heat and pressure that is generated from dissolving of the cal hypo pucks versus the trichlor pucks. So the risk here is not from the combination of the chlorine types, but from the heat/pressure combination that can make a bomb out of your trichlor feeder.
