# If drawn water mixes into a majority of rainwater and there’s hamshacha afterwards the mikveh is valid.<Ref>The Rambam Mikvaot 4:8 writes that hamshacha on a complete mikveh is effective if there was originally a majority of rainwater and then drawn water fell in and then hamshacha occurred. The Bet Yosef 201:44 explains that the Rambam is based on his reading of Temurah 12a that Rabbanan hold hamshacha works for a complete mikveh. He explains that it only means that it works if originally there was a majority of rainwater and then drawn water entered and then the entire mikveh moved. Shulchan Aruch 201:44 follows the Rambam. | # If drawn water mixes into a majority of rainwater and there’s hamshacha afterwards the mikveh is valid.<Ref>The Rambam Mikvaot 4:8 writes that hamshacha on a complete mikveh is effective if there was originally a majority of rainwater and then drawn water fell in and then hamshacha occurred.

Rash (Mikvaot 2:7) understands that the Mishna allows hamshacha even if the sheuvim came in first and then the majority rainwater afterwards.</ref> | Rash (Mikvaot 2:7) understands that the Mishna allows hamshacha even if the sheuvim came in first and then the majority rainwater afterwards.</ref> | ||

# Hamshacha needs to be the length of 3 tefachim.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 201:45. The Kol Bo 86 quotes the Ri who held that hamshacha needs to be a distance of 3 tefachim otherwise it is lavud. Rivash 83 and 125 agrees. Rashba 5:60 holds hamshacha is effective in any amount. Tashbetz 1:49 writes that even though it seems that lavud is irrelevant to hamshacha which is a rule of walls, since the Ri was strict we can’t be lenient. Chazon Ish (Mikvaot Tinyanya 8:13) writes that Rash holds hamshacha is kosher with any distance. However, in Chazon Ish (Mikvaot Kama 6:9) he rejects this explanation. Shulchan Aruch 201:45 is strict. </ref> | # Hamshacha needs to be the length of 3 tefachim.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 201:45.
