Commentary for Zevachim 157:2

רבא אמר בדלי שתוכו טהור וגבו טמא עסקינן דמדינא סגי להו בכל דהו

Raba said: We are discussing a pail which is clean on the inside and unclean on the outside: by law even a small quantity is sufficient, and it was only the Rabbis who enacted a preventive measure, lest one begrudge [the water] and not immerse it. Since then we have an excess [of mikweh water], nothing else is required. <br>
