Abstract:
There is provided a flush toilet that performs flushing by rim spouting, the flush toilet allowing the size of a flush water tank to be reduced while enabling discharge of a sufficient amount of flush water to a toilet main body. A flush toilet 1 includes a toilet main body 2 including a bowl 2a, a rim 2c and a rim spout port 2f for discharging supplied flush water to the rim 2c, a flush water tank device 4, a pump device 6, a water supply device 8, and a controller 10, where the controller 10 is capable of performing a flushing mode in which the total amount of discharge of flush water discharged to the rim spout port 2f by the pump device 6 is greater than a tank capacity of the flush water tank device 4, and the controller 10 controls driving of the pump device 6 and the water supply device 8 in the flushing mode such that at least a part of a water supply period when flush water is supplied by the water supply device overlaps a discharge period when flush water is discharged by the pump device 6.
