The answer

The presence of a dog in a pond or fountain does not affect the purity of the water. Abundant water, such as in ponds and fountains, does not become impure if an impurity falls into it unless one of its characteristics (color, taste, or smell) changes. This is supported by the of Bi'r Buda'ah. The fundamental principle is that water is pure unless its impurity is certain due to a change. Therefore, clothes do not need to be washed from fountain spray unless its impurity is certain, and one must be wary of obsessive doubts.
