# If the water streaming from a spring was interrupted it isn’t considered like a spring instead it is like a mikveh and invalid if it is moving.< | # If the water streaming from a spring was interrupted it isn’t considered like a spring; instead it is like a mikveh and invalid if it is moving.<ref>The Bet Yosef 201:10 writes that it seems from the Rosh and Rash (Mikvaot 5:1) that if the pool was originally empty and was filled with spring water it is considered like a spring even when the stream from the spring to the pool is interrupted. He suggests this possibility in the Rambam Mikvaot 9:9, as does the Maharik 156 (cited by Darkei Moshe 201:13), but he points out that the Rambam Pirush Mishnayot doesn’t sound like this. Rambam (Pirush Mishnayot 5:5) is explicit that water that dripped out of a spring and is disconnected from the spring is like a mikveh. In any event, the Raavad (cited by the Bet Yosef 201:10 by Maharik 156) and [https://beta.hebrewbooks.org/reader/reader.aspx?sfid=9023#p=118 Rashba (Torat Habayit Shaar Hamayim 11)] hold explicitly that if the water from the spring was interrupted it is considered like a mikveh completely. The Shulchan Aruch 201:10 rules like the Raavad and Rashba. Shach 201:29, Chatom Sofer 209, and Hagahot Perisha 201:21 accept this approach. With respect to the Hagahot Perisha’s proof the Shach 201:34 and Taz 201:23 disagree.</ref> If that water which was disconnected from the spring is reconnected to the spring, it reattains the status of a spring.<ref>Mishna Mikvaot 5:1 according to Raavad as citing by Bet Yosef 201:10. See Maharik 156.</ref> | ||
# If drawn water was added to a spring it is valid even if there is a majority of spring water. However, if there is a majority of drawn water it is only fit while it is still and not moving.<ref>Mishna Mikvaot 1:7, Rashba (Shaar Hamayim ch. 11), Shulchan Aruch and Rama 201:11. Shach 201:33 explains that the reason that it is only effective when it is stopped is because the drawn water isn’t converted into spring water and is only effective when stopped. </ref> | # If drawn water was added to a spring it is valid even if there is a majority of spring water.
