Reference for Makhshirin 4:8

קְדֵרָה שֶׁהִיא מְלֵאָה מַיִם וּנְתוּנָה לְתוֹךְ הַמִּקְוֶה וּפָשַׁט אַב הַטֻּמְאָה אֶת יָדוֹ לְתוֹכָהּ, טְמֵאָה. מַגַּע טֻמְאוֹת, טְהוֹרָה. וּשְׁאָר כָּל הַמַּשְׁקִין, טְמֵאִין, שֶׁאֵין הַמַּיִם מְטַהֲרִים אֶת שְׁאָר הַמַּשְׁקִין:

[If] an [earthenware] pot that is full of water is put into a <i>Mikveh</i> and an <i>Av HaTumah</i> reached out his hand into it [the pot], it [the pot] is [thereby] impure. [If] one who had contact with impurities [that is, he had touched an <i>Av HaTumah</i>] it [the pot] is [remains] pure. And [if it were] any other liquid [in the pot], [they] are impure because the water [of the <i>Mikvah</i>] does not purify other the liquids.
