Apparently the plants shown are supposed to help filter the water. Also has regular pump and filter.
Without chlorine or salt, that filter is going to get clogged up like a muther fricker in Louisiana. It will also be a nightmare keeping that plant growth back.
This is in addition to the earlier points re snakes, mosquitoes, etc.
There's plenty reasons people aren't doing this around here.

Apparently in warmer climates, you are suppose to use a gravel filter instead of a plant based filter. Everything I find about them on the internet has pics of them completely frozen over in the winter, usually people ice skating on them. So I don't think these are meant for us in the warm climates. 
Apparently creatures ie: frogs/tadpoles/whatever is what is suppose to get the mosquitos on the plant side.
