Water-Efficient Six-Jet Spray in a Brilliant Finish: Jaclo Contempo #2 Shower Head in Polished Gold

The Jaclo Contempo #2 (B728-1.5-PG) is a solid brass shower head built around six independently adjustable jets that combine into 48 individual sprays, so you can dial in everything from a soft, wide rain to a tighter, more focused stream. This version delivers Jaclo's most water-efficient flow rate at 1.5 GPM, using noticeably less water than the brand's 2.5 and 2.0 GPM versions while relying on the same adjustable spray design.

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.

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 Gold finish is applied through a multi-layer electroplating process for a rich, 14-karat gold hue with a glistening, high-gloss shine.

Easy Clean Flush System

Built-in flush technology helps clear mineral buildup from the nozzles, so the spray pattern stays consistent even in homes with hard water. That means less scrubbing and fewer clogged jets over the life of the shower head.

Jaclo Contempo #2 Shower Head FAQ

How much water will a 1.5 GPM shower head actually save compared to an older shower head?

Shower heads made before the 1992 federal Energy Policy Act often ran anywhere from 4 to 8 GPM, and even today's federal maximum is 2.5 GPM. At 1.5 GPM, this shower head uses less than half the water of a pre-1992 fixture and noticeably less than a standard 2.5 GPM head, which adds up over a typical 8-minute shower without requiring you to shower any differently.

Will a 1.5 GPM shower head feel weak if my home has low water pressure?

Because it's the lowest flow rate in the Contempo #2 lineup, this version is more sensitive to incoming water pressure than the 2.0 or 2.5 GPM models and can feel underwhelming in a home that's already running weak. The Rain and Full Rain settings help concentrate flow across the six jets for a stronger feel, but if your home typically runs under about 40 PSI, the 2.0 or 2.5 GPM version will likely give you a more satisfying shower.

Does the Polished Gold finish need special care to prevent tarnishing?

Not really. Jaclo treats finishes like Unlacquered Brass as "living" finishes that are designed to patina with age and exposure, but Polished Gold isn't one of those; it's built to hold its bright, consistent shine. A soft cloth and mild soap is normally all it needs, and it's best to avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can dull the plating over time.

Can I pair this shower head with a matching Jaclo handshower or shower system in Polished Gold?

Yes, Jaclo offers Polished Gold across much of its handshower, valve trim, and accessory lineup, so building a coordinated shower system in this finish is realistic. Exact compatibility depends on which specific components you're pairing it with, so if you want help matching a complete Polished Gold shower package or confirming a specific accessory, the Plumbing Deals team can help!
