My question is kind of similar to [this one](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/48657/how-should-must-catholics-handle-transport-and-use-holy-water) , but more specific. There's a lot of conflicting information on the internet regarding diluting the holy water. Some people suggest that the water must be comprised of more than 50% originally blessed water to be considered "holy".
None of the sources seemed to suggest that it is "50% holy" then, though; to the contrary, "holiness" of the water is supposed to be a boolean property. This would imply that holy water obtained by 50-50 dilution and contact with originally blessed holy water is different to the originally blessed holy water. Specifically, that all the properties of the original water are kept, *except* the ability to be diluted with non-blessed water.
This is my understanding basing on some public findings though; I was struggling to find any real canonical source that would definitely answer all of my questions.
