reflushing

Second toilet activation

Reflushing is flushing again—typically a toilet that didn't clear the first time, or a system being purged repeatedly: The toilet kept running, so I tried reflushing.

In technical contexts, it describes clearing pipes, radiators, or other fluid systems a second time to ensure complete drainage or cleaning.
