Default Reuse of spa water

When I change out my hot tub water, is it possible to reclaim any for
use in the garden or in my large deck pots? Would the chlorine and other
chemicals be too harsh on the plants? The chlorine is kept fairly low as
I also use a silver cartridge as well as an ozonator, and could be
allowed to evaporate easily enough. The pH tends to run low, although
the alkalinity remains constant.
I hate to waste 385 gallons of water if I don't have to. I was thinking
if I put a covered barrel down below my deck and collect some of the
water there as I drain the tub, I could use it as needed.
