(a)Immersion in spring water is Metaher whether the water is flowing (Zochalin) or whether it is collected in a cavity.
(b)Immersion in rainwater (Notfin) is Metaher if the water is collected in a cavity, or "b'Ashboren." This is learned from Vayikra 11:36, where the verse states that a Mikveh Mayim (an accumulation of water) purifies. While the rainwater is flowing, it cannot be Metaher.
(c)Rebbi Yosi rules that all sea water is considered like spring water in that it is Metaher while flowing (b'Zochalin). However, they are not considered to be spring water for the purification of Zavim and Metzora'im, who need Mayim Chayim (spring water) for their immersion.
28)[last line]זבים ... ולמצורעיםZAVIM … METZORA'IM
(a)A Zav (see Background to Shabbos 84:1) must count seven "clean" days in which he sees no Zov in order to start his purification process, as it states in Vayikra 15:13. Afterwards, he immerses in a spring to complete the process (ibid.). Since the Torah specifies Mayim Chayim, immersing in a Mikvah will not make him Tahor.
(b)A Metzora (see Background to Shabbos 94:18) must live outside of his settlement until a Kohen has confirmed that the signs of Tum'ah of Tzara'as have disappeared. He may then start his purification process, in which he uses spring water, Mayim Chayim, in an earthenware utensil. The ceremony is described in Vayikra 14:5.
29)[last line]לקדש בהן מי חטאתL'KADESH BAHEN MEI CHATAS
(a)The Parah Adumah, an exclusively red-haired cow, is burned on Har ha'Zeisim and its ashes are used for making a person Tahor if he is Tamei Mes (Bamidbar 19:1-22). Only a cow that has not had a yoke placed upon it and has had no other work done with it is fit to be used as a Parah Adumah (Bamidbar 19:2).
(b)A place is prepared for its slaughter on Har ha'Zeisim, opposite the eastern gate to the Azarah (the courtyard of the Beis ha'Mikdash). The Kohen Gadol and all of the Kohanim who help him in the preparation of the Parah Adumah exit from this gate. After it is slaughtered, its blood is sprinkled in the direction of the Beis ha'Mikdash seven times.
(c)Sereifas ha'Parah (burning the cow) is also performed on Har ha'Zeisim. A cedar branch, some Ezov branches and a piece of crimson wool, are thrown into the carcass of the cow while it is burning (Bamidbar 19:6).
(d)If a person or utensil became Tamei through touching or carrying Tum'as Mes or being in the same room as a corpse or something that is Metamei b'Ohel, he must wait seven days to become Tahor. On the third and seventh days he must have spring water mixed with the ashes of the Parah Adumah (Mei Chatas or Mei Nidah) sprinkled on him. A person who is Tahor dips three Ezov branches that have been bound together into the mixture, and sprinkles them on the person who is Tamei. On the seventh day, he immerses in a Mikvah after the mixture is sprinkled on him in order to complete his Taharah (Bamidbar 19:17-19).
(e)The water that is used to make Mei Chatas must be spring water; sea water is not acceptable.
