The reason that I'm considering it is that I have a substantially cold winter season, where it can get 40 degrees Celicius below freezing. I do not necessarily want to heat an external building just for my grey water treatment, but I also do not necessarily want to have a jungle in my living room if it's going to be an issue with moisture levels in my home.
The other option that I'm considering is using a couple of those square metal caged plastic fluid containers (4 foot cubed, I think), buried underground 5 feet or so and filled with mulch/fungi, and worms. The grey water would flow into and through one, and then into the next, before going into the ground water system (or possibly with the additional step of a dumping in the middle of a deep hugulkulture trench downslope).
