Can I water my flower garden with treated pool water instead of just putting it down the drain?

We have a 600 Gal. wading pool and are done using it for the summer. Instead of just draining the pool, I was wondering if we could use the water on our flowers and shrubs? I have used shock treatment and pool sanitizer in it, so I am not sure.

Most pool water has less chlorine than drinking water. Pools have 1.5 parts per million (ppm) . Drinking water will have 12 to 24 ppm chlorine. To be sure just stop treating the water for a week or so before you water the plants.
Reply:Most of the chemicals should evaporate away much faster than the water. I would let it sit for a week or so without adding anything, then feel free to use it at will.
Reply:I wouldn't advise it. The chemicals will kill your plants.
Reply:If you use the Baquacil chemicals and pool system you can use it on the lawn and gardens. It is safe for use on plants, but chlorine systems will kill them.

Reply:Chlorine+Flowers=Dead Garden. Just dump it, honey.
Reply:I wouldn't. That's a lot of chemical to put on something so sensitive.
Reply:I wouldn't recommend it.The chemicals are not heathy for plants.
Reply:No, don't use it to water them. Remember plants get their nutrients from waterings and the soil. Think of it as if you drank a glass of water with some laundry bleach in it ( it says right on the bottle not to ingest).
