What do I do with the water?

Earlier this week I got my new Saturn 4 Ultra i've had a relatively good time with it. Mostly right now its just a learning curve but iI enjoy it so far. Anyway right now I have a 3 part wash that I do. First I have a "dirty Ipa bath" that i try to get a lot of any of the excess resin thats on the print. Second i put it in the wash and cure station with 99% ipa and let it run for a minimum of 12 minutes. Usually its a little longer because I just let it run while im cleaning up my area from the mess the build plate made. Then I let everything drain/drip off and Finally I put it in a tub filled with hot water while I go through the process of taking off the supports.

Long story short I know how to dispose of the Ipa but what can I do with the water. I know your not supposed to put it down the drain. (I will say by the time I get to the water it usally stay really clear the whole time i'm using it) What do I do with the water I cant really reheat it and I don't want to put it down the drain. Right now I just dump it in a 5 gal bucket ut I know that won't last me long.

Also is my cleaning process good am I just doing to much. Is there an easier way to take the supports off I don't have a hair dryer or heat gun available to me at the moment.
