May cold water be added to a bathhouse tub (amtata) full of hot water on Shabbat?
Synopsis
The Mechaber forbids adding cold water to a bathhouse tub full of hot water, because despite being a keli sheini, bathhouse tubs are heated to such an extreme degree that the cold water will cook. Pouring hot water from that tub into another tub of cold water is permitted.
