A friend of mine told me that one can add water to Holy Water. She said that as long as the amount added is less than the existing amount, that the water will retain its original blessing.
Has anyone heard this?

Thank you! I should have known to check the mainpage first. My apologies.
Can one continue to do this indefinitely?

Yes, it can go on indefinitely as long as one's always adding less than half to the amount in question.

Thank you. That is really good to know and gives me comfort, esp considering the potential for future lockdowns!

"Note that as long as your container of holy water is half full, you can top it off, rendering the new water you've added holy as well after it's been mixed with your remaining water."
I've got a small bottle of Epiphany water that I top off in the same manner.
