Comentario sobre Makhshirin 2:2
מֶרְחָץ טְמֵאָה, זֵעָתָהּ טְמֵאָה. וּטְהוֹרָה, בְּכִי יֻתַּן. הַבְּרֵכָה שֶׁבַּבַּיִת, הַבַּיִת מַזִּיעַ מֵחֲמָתָהּ, אִם טְמֵאָה, זֵעַת כָּל הַבַּיִת שֶׁמֵּחֲמַת הַבְּרֵכָה, טְמֵאָה:
La humedad de una casa de baños impura [es decir, el agua que contiene es impura] es impura. Y [la humedad de] una [casa de baños] pura logra BeKhi Yutan [un estado en el que el líquido puesto sobre los alimentos lo hace susceptible a la impureza]. [Si] hay una piscina en la casa y las [paredes] de la casa exudan humedad por eso, si [la piscina] es impura, la humedad de toda la casa causada por la piscina es impura.

Bartenura on Mishnah Makhshirin
וטהורה – meaning to say, the sweat coming from a bathhouse is clean, as for example, the bathhouse of the waters of a fountain which are not drawn water, this is subject to [the laws of] “If water be put” (Leviticus 11:38: “But if water is put/וכי יותן מים upon seed grain [and any part of a carcass falls upon it, it shall be unclean for you],” for the sweat makes the produce susceptible [to receive ritual uncleanness].

English Explanation of Mishnah Makhshirin
If there was a pool in a house, the house sweats because of it if the pool was unclean, the sweat of all the house which was caused by the pool is unclean. The purity of the sweat of a house with a pool in it depends upon the purity of the water in the pool. If the pool is unclean, then the sweat is unclean and will cause susceptibility. If the pool is clean, the sweat of the house is considered as coming from the pool and it will cause susceptibility. This is different from general sweat from a house which does not cause susceptibility, as we learned in yesterday's mishnah.

Bartenura on Mishnah Makhshirin
אם טמאה – the pool, all the sweat [of the walls] that the house produces on its account makes it susceptible and defiles it, but where it is not on its account, it is the sweat of [the walls of] the house and is pure.
