Relatively new pool owner here. I see HTH makes a non stabilized puck, why is it I can't use that in an auto chlorinator and avoid growing CYA problems?
Non stabilized puck for auto chlorinator?

As long as the tabs are just chlorine, I see no problem. Just watch the list of ingredients and know what you are putting in your pool.

there are no "just chlorine" tabs. The chlorine needs something to bind to to stabilize it. CYA, calcium and lithium are the three things you will find in solid forms of chlorine.
Very true.
I cannot easily find good info on the hth tabs in question. Again, know what you are adding to your pool. If you have low calcium fill water and are constantly adding calcium chloride and that is what is in the tabs, could help. Just be careful and keep a close eye on your test results. How are you testing your water?
The general consensus is going to be SWG or LC.

Folks, I'm closing this thread to draw attention to a potentially very dangerous situation.
Putting cal hypo pucks into a chlorinator that has been used for trichlor pucks is a huge problem.
It can cause the chlorinator to explode. You should never mix chlorine types, and that includes using a different type of chlorine in a chlorinator.
