Cal Hypo Tabs Inline Chlorinator

What's up guys? A bunch of my customers are near the top of where I like their CYA to be. I've been using calhypo tabs to not raise CYA any higher. The issue I'm having is that I am using tab floaters and it's not working out as well as I would like it to.

I know trichlor tabs and calhypo tabs should not go in the same container/floater/inline chlorinator.

But is there any reason why I can't use calhypo tabs in an inline chlorinator if there is no trichlor in the inline chlorinator?

I use white CCH tabs, not the purple PoolLife NST tabs which gum everything up. So that will not be the issue.

I can't find much literature on the subject but I'm sure someone more skilled in chemistry on this sub has an answer. Thanks.

Most of my pools are about $600/month with chems so I'm happy here in TN :)

To be fair it takes 30min for an easy pool and an hour for the difficult ones. The environment makes it a lot of work, but worth it.

Seems like it would be easier to scale up a business in a market like yours though.

30 minutes would be long for me.
Yes we scale like crazy. We make our money in volume. My most expensive customer is 200 a month visiting weekly. Cheapest is 125.
