Jaclo's Lowest-Flow Six-Jet Shower Head, Now in Classic Polished Brass

The Jaclo Contempo #2 (B728-1.5-PB) pairs the brand's most water-efficient flow rate with its most classic finish. Like every Contempo #2, it's built around six independently adjustable jets that combine into 48 individual sprays, letting you shift from a broad, enveloping rain to a tighter, more focused stream. At 1.5 GPM, it uses less water per minute than any other flow rate Jaclo offers in this shower head, without dropping the adjustable spray technology that makes the higher-flow versions feel strong.

Key Features

Six-Jet Adjustable Spray

Six individually adjustable jets combine for 48 total sprays, giving you a wide range of coverage from a broad, enveloping rain to a narrower, more direct stream. It's an easy way to match the spray to your mood or the task at hand, whether that's a quick rinse or a slower, more relaxing shower.

Jaclo's Most Water-Efficient Flow Rate

At 1.5 GPM, this is the lowest flow rate available across the entire Contempo #2 lineup, using noticeably less water than the 2.0 and 2.5 GPM versions with every shower. It's a straightforward way to cut water use without switching to a different shower head design or spray technology.

Aim-Anywhere Ball Joint

The 1/2" IPS adjustable brass ball joint lets you tilt the shower head to the angle that works best for your height and shower layout. It's a small detail that makes a real difference in everyday comfort, especially in showers where the arm itself can't be repositioned.

Solid Brass Built to Last

The shower head is machined from solid brass rather than lighter-weight plastic, giving it real heft and long-term durability. The Polished Brass finish is applied through a multi-layer electroplating process for a warm, glowing look that holds up to daily use.

Jaclo Contempo #2 Shower Head FAQ

How is this 1.5 GPM version different from the WaterSense-certified 1.75 GPM Contempo #2?

Both share the same six-jet spray head and solid brass body. The 1.75 GPM version carries the EPA's WaterSense label, which makes it the go-to choice for rebate programs or code requirements that specifically call for certification. This 1.5 GPM version isn't certified, but its lower flow rate actually uses less water per minute. If certification matters for your project, go with the 1.75 GPM model; if you just want the lowest water usage available in this shower head, this is the one.

Does the Polished Brass finish show water spots more than other finishes?

Like most high-gloss finishes, Polished Brass shows mineral spotting from hard water more visibly than a matte or brushed finish would, simply because water spots stand out more against a reflective surface. Wiping the head down with a soft cloth after showering, or periodically with a mild vinegar-water solution, keeps spotting from building up. The Easy Clean flush setting helps clear mineral buildup inside the nozzles, though it doesn't address surface spotting on the outside of the head.

How do I use the Easy Clean flush setting, and how often should I run it?

Rotating the adjustable face to the Easy Clean position activates a short flush that pulses water through the nozzles to help dislodge mineral deposits, rather than delivering a normal shower spray. There's no strict schedule to follow; running it every week or two in hard water areas, or roughly once a month with softer water, is generally enough to keep the jets from clogging.

Is the spray angle adjustable enough to work for kids or shorter household members?

Yes, within limits. The 1/2" IPS ball joint tilts the head itself, letting you angle the spray down and toward the center of the shower rather than straight out from the wall, which helps for shorter users. It's not a height-adjustable slide bar, though, so if you need the shower head to move up and down the wall, you'd want to pair it with a slide bar or adjustable shower arm rather than relying on the ball joint alone.

Does the Polished Brass finish cost more than Jaclo's other finish options for this shower head?

No. Polished Brass is one of Jaclo's standard finish options and is priced the same as Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel, and several other core finishes across the Contempo #2 lineup. Specialty finishes like Polished Gold or the antique and aged options typically run higher.
