You could get it to work, Once upon a time I had a lady that was in a 4inch basket with coco, I threw her with the basket into the hyrdoton, It made a mess the first couple fillings but after everything settled in, it worked out. I think most people avoid it since there are different options, some easier, for the same price, if not cheaper.
Not worth having the mess IMO, coco can clog lines and pumps.
Peace
