Quoting%20commentary for Parah 6:2

הָיָה קִדּוּשׁ צָף עַל פְּנֵי הַמַּיִם, רַבִּי מֵאִיר וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמְרִים, נוֹטֵל וּמְקַדֵּשׁ. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, כֹּל שֶׁנָּגַע בַּמַּיִם, אֵין מְקַדְּשִׁין בּוֹ. זָלַף אֶת הַמַּיִם וְנִמְצָא קִדּוּשׁ מִלְּמַטָּן, רַבִּי מֵאִיר וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמְרִים, מְנַגֵּב וּמְקַדֵּשׁ. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, כֹּל שֶׁנָּגַע בַּמַּיִם, אֵין מְקַדְּשִׁין בּוֹ:

If the sanctified [ashes] were floating on the water, Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Shimon say: he may take [from the ashes] and sanctify [with them]; and the Sages say: anything which has touched the water, we do not sanctify with it. If the water was emptied and sanctified [ashes] were found at the bottom, Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Shimon say: he may dry and sanctify; and the Sages say: anything which has touched the water, we do not sanctify with it.
