A flush toilet has a housing and a bowl set in the housing, having an upper rim, and having an inner surface extending downward from the rim. A ring atop the bowl has a plurality of nozzles spaced about the rim and each directed at an acute angle against an immediately adjacent portion of the inner bowl surface. Respective conduits have outer ends connected to the nozzles and inner ends. A supply feeds water under pressure to the inner ends and thereby directs streams of water from the nozzles against the inner surface. The conduits are all of substantially the same length between their ends so that pressure at the nozzles is uniform. These conduits are at least partially formed by flexible tubes. In addition each nozzle has an oval-shaped outlet opening and is directed at an acute angle of between 10° and 20° against the respective adjacent bowl portion and also at an angle of between 20° and 40° to vertical.
