# If a complete mikveh has drawn water put in and removed consecutively such that a majority of 40 seah of the original water was removed according to some rishonim it is completely valid, while according to others it is invalid. We are strict to avoid this but in extenuating circumstances if there’s no other mikveh available we can lenient.<ref>The Rash (Mikvaot 7:2) and Rosh (Hilchot Mikvaot n. 1) hold that once there is a complete mikveh of 40 seah it can’t be invalidated by adding drawn water. The concept that the mishna invalidates a mikveh when something is consistently removed and replaced (natan seah vnatal seah) is referring to fruit juice and not drawn water. Rabbenu Tam (Sefer Hayashar 671) and Tosfot Rid (Bava Batra 66b) agree with this understanding of the Mishna. The Gemara Yevamot 82b adds that natan seah vnatal seah is only an issue after one removed a majority of the mikveh. The Teshuvat Rid 62, Tur, and Shulchan Aruch 201:24 accept the Rosh. Gra 201:59 agrees with Shulchan Aruch. | # If a complete mikveh has drawn water put in and removed consecutively such that a majority of 40 seah of the original water was removed according to some rishonim it is completely valid, while according to others it is invalid.

*However, the Rambam (Hilchot Mikvaot 7:6) understood the mishna to be speaking about drawn water and not fruit juice. Rashbam (Bava Batra 66a), Rabbenu Gershom (Bava Batra 66b), Raavan (Teshuva 28), and Raavad (Baalei Hanefesh p. 88) agree with Rambam's understanding of the mishna. Rashbatz 1:17 writes that we should avoid the dispute if it is easily avoidable. Rashbetz 3:12 writes that we should avoid this unless it is an extenuating circumstance. Shach 201:63 is strict. Igrot Moshe YD 1:119 writes that in extenuating circumstances it is possible to rely on S”A against Rambam. Chelkat Binyamin 201:377 agrees.</ref> | *However, the Rambam (Hilchot Mikvaot 7:6) understood the mishna to be speaking about drawn water and not fruit juice.

# Some say that the issue of natan seah vnatal seah is solved by having water flow into the mikveh and flow out since it isn’t similar to drawing water out with a vessel. Other disagree.<ref> | # Some say that the issue of natan seah vnatal seah is solved by having water flow into the mikveh and flow out since it isn’t similar to drawing water out with a vessel.
