Orthodox Answer To a Question About adding water to holy water

Question Number 1342:

I am newly orthodox. Is it true I can add water to my holy water from theophany to make more?

ANSWER:

Yes, but the proper way is of course to ask the priest or deacon for more! Adding water to blessed water is only done as a temporary solution.
