Exegesis
The historical present ballei {βάλλει | bál-lei} ‘he pours’ creates vividness in the storytelling, followed by the prepositional phrase eis ton niptera {εἰς τὸν νιπτῆρα | eis tón nip-tê-ra} that specifies the goal of the action, “into the basin.”
In context — John 13:5
Then He pours water into the basin and begins to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
