מקואות פרק ז׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
יש מעלין. משלימין לארבעים סאה:
ולא פוסלין. בשלשה לוגין שאובין. וכולהו מפרש כיצד:
הכפור. גשמים שיורדין נקפים:
גליד. מים שקפאו על פני הארץ או על פני המים:
טיט הנרוק. טיט רך ורקיק שנעשה כמו רוק:
אבן הברד כמים. כמים שאובים דאמרינן לקמן פוסלים ולא מעלים. ואין הלכה כרבי יוחנן בן נורי. והלכה כעדותן של אנשי מידבא שעושין מקוה מן השלג אפילו לכתחילה:
נמצאו מעלין. שהשלימוהו:
ולא פוסלין. בשלשה לוגין שאובין. שהרי סאה היא הרבה יותר משלשה לוגין, ולא נפסל המקוה בכך:

פעמים אין מעלין. כדקתני במקוה שיש בו ארבעים סאה חסר אחת:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

נמצאו מעלין – that they complete/raise it.
ולא פוסלין – with three LOGS of drawn [water], for a Seah is much more than three LOGS and the Mikveh is not invalidated through this.
