I'm assuming you're talking about the absorption of CO2 into water. CO2 free water is used to properly measure the amount of CO2 water can actually absorb. CO2 already in the water will reduce the mass of CO2 transferred from the gas, and while I don't believe that there is a specific point at which CO2 can no longer be absorbed by water, the tendency for CO2 to be absorbed into water with CO2 already in it is reduced.
