Commentary for Mikvaot 1:2
מִלֵּא בִכְלִי טָמֵא וְשָׁתָה טָהוֹר, טָמֵא. מִלֵּא בִכְלִי טָמֵא וּמִלֵּא בִכְלִי טָהוֹר, טָמֵא. מִלֵּא בִכְלִי טָמֵא וְנָפַל כִּכָּר שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, אִם הֵדִיחַ, טָמֵא. וְאִם לֹא הֵדִיחַ, טָהוֹר:
If one filled an impure vessel [from water collected in such pools], and a pure person drank [from it], he is impure. If one filled using an impure vessel, and then filled a pure vessel [with the waters from the first vessel], it is impure. If one filled an impure vessel, and then a loaf of <i>terumah</i> fell in [the pool], if one rinsed it, it is impure; and if one did not rinse it, it is pure.
Bartenura on Mishnah Mikvaot
FILLED WITH A PURE VESSEL: We learned above that the impurity comes to the water on account of the impure person, and here we learn that the impurity comes account of an (impure) vessel

English Explanation of Mishnah Mikvaot
If one drew water from it in an unclean vessel and then a clean person drank [out of the pit], he becomes unclean.
If one drew water [from it] in an unclean vessel and then drew water from it in a clean vessel, it becomes unclean.
If one drew water [from it] in an unclean vessel and a loaf of terumah fell in: If he washed [his hands] in it, it becomes unclean; But if he did not wash [his hands] in it, it is clean.
This mishnah is basically the same exact mishnah as yesterday's mishnah, except the water in the pool is defiled not by a person drinking directly from it but by a person filling up an unclean vessel from it.
