תנו רבנן חרסן של זב וזבה פעם ראשון ושני טמא שלישי טהור

<br> Our Rabbis taught: As to the shard of a zab and a zabah, the first and second time it is unclean, the third time it is clean. When is that? if one poured water into it; but if one did not pour water into it, it is unclean even the tenth time. R. Eliezer b. Jacob said: At the third time it is clean even if one did not pour water into it. Now, whom do you know to maintain that one kind is not nullified by its own kind? R. Judah. But the following contradicts it: If flax was spun by a niddah, he who moves it is clean; but if it is damp, he who moves it is unclean, on account of the fluid of her mouth. R. Judah said: One also who moistens it in water is unclean, on account of the fluid of her mouth, even [if he washes it] many times! - Said R. Papa: Saliva is different, because it is incrusted. <br>

Tosefta Terumot

The earthenware bed-chamber (following Lieberman, חרסן not התמד ["inferior wine created from husks and stalks of grapes"]) of a zav or of a zavah [who experienced his or her] first or second [emission] is impure; [but as to] the third, it is pure. In what case does this apply? When he (or she) [did not] put water inside of it (see Yerushalmi Ter. XI.4.11), but if he (or she) did put water inside of it, even the tenth is impure. Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya'akov says, a third [is impure] even though he did not put pure water inside of it.
