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

The Jaclo Contempo #2 (B728-1.5-SG) 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 Satin Gold finish is applied through a multi-layer electroplating process for a rich, 14-karat gold hue with a satin finish.

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 does the 1.5 GPM flow rate compare to Jaclo's other Contempo #2 options?

Jaclo builds the Contempo #2 in four flow rates: 2.5, 2.0, 1.75, and 1.5 GPM. At 1.5 GPM, this is the most water-efficient version in the lineup, using less water per minute than any other Contempo #2 option while keeping the same six-jet adjustable spray design. It's a good fit if you're prioritizing water savings, whether for utility costs, a low-flow fixture requirement, or general conservation.

Is this 1.5 GPM shower head WaterSense certified?

No. Jaclo's WaterSense certification on the Contempo #2 applies specifically to the 1.75 GPM version, not this 1.5 GPM model. WaterSense certification is tied to a specific tested configuration rather than simply the lowest flow rate, so if you need the official WaterSense label for a rebate program or code requirement, you'll want the 1.75 GPM option instead.

Will this shower head work with my existing shower arm?

Yes. It connects to a standard 1/2" IPS shower arm, the same threading used on the vast majority of U.S. shower installations, and all mounting hardware is included. The adjustable ball joint also gives you some flexibility to angle the head correctly even if your existing arm isn't perfectly positioned.

What's the difference between the Full Rain, Rain, and Easy Clean spray settings?

Full Rain opens all six jets for the widest, most enveloping coverage. Rain narrows that pattern slightly for a more focused stream with a bit more pressure per jet, which can help offset the lower flow rate. Easy Clean activates the flush function, pulsing water through the nozzles to help clear mineral deposits rather than delivering a shower spray. Switching between them just means rotating the adjustable face.

How do I make sure this Polished Gold finish matches my other bathroom fixtures?

Satin Gold finishes can vary noticeably between manufacturers. Jaclo's Satin Gold is a rich, 14-karat gold hue built on a multi-layer electroplated base for a satin finish that reads as true gold rather than a brushed or antiqued tone.
