How much water is required per urination event when urine from multiple separate urinations is present?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules one revi'it per urination event. The Rema adds 'and so on indefinitely.' There is a major dispute between the Rambam/majority (one revi'it per urination) and the Rashba (one revi'it suffices for any quantity). The Beur HaGra and Aruch HaShulchan side with the Rashba for practical ruling.
