Related for Zevachim 158:2

במה דברים אמורים שנתן לתוכו מים אבל לא נתן לתוכו מים אפילו עשירי טמא רבי אליעזר בן יעקב אומר שלישי אע"פ שלא נתן לתוכו מים טהור מאן שמעת ליה דאמר מין במינו לא בטיל רבי יהודה

IF IT WAS MIXED WITH THE BLOOD OF UNFIT [ANIMALS], IT MUST BE POURED OUT INTO THE DUCT [etc.] Wherein do they differ? - Said R. Zebid: They differ as to whether a preventive measure is enacted in the Temple: one master holds that we enact a preventive measure, while the other master holds that we do not enact a preventive measure. R. Papa said: All agree that we do enact a preventive measure, but here they disagree as to whether it is usual for the draining blood to exceed the life blood: one master holds that it is common, while the other master holds that it is not common. As for R. Papa, it is well: for that reason he teaches, IF IT WAS MIXED WITH THE BLOOD OF UNFIT [ANIMALS]. IT MUST BE POURED OUT INTO THE DUCT; WITH THE DRAINING BLOOD, IT MUST BE POURED OUT INTO THE DUCT. But according to R. Zebid, let him [the Tanna] combine them and teach them together? - That indeed is a difficulty.

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.
