wouldnt the chlorine and/or salt kill all the vegetation?


Doesn't have either

Apparently the plants shown are supposed to help filter the water. Also has regular pump and filter.

Part of the point though is none of the chemicals I'd guess.

Yeah... that's not going to work in the South's climate. Within a week or so that thing will look like my daughter's goldfish aquarium when we let it go too long without cleaning it.

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.
