I want a verb that possesses the power of the English verb, "to flush", which describes a massive, immediate rush of cleansing waters such as in "to flush the system" or as in "to flush the commode"

I don't think there is a Spanish verb equivalent.

tirar algo por algo (el wáter, lavabo, etc.)

I heard the toilet flushing. / Oí la cadena del wáter.

Flush the toilet / commode = tirar de la cadena (something like "yank the chain")

Not what you're looking for, I know, but still thought you might be interested in it.

I don't think it exists by itself. Most likely you will have to explain it when translating to Spanish.

The words that I can think of at this moment all means something else too and really don't describe the process by themselves.
