WaterSense-Certified Six-Jet Spray: Jaclo Contempo #2 Shower Head in Polished Brass

The Jaclo Contempo #2 (B728-1.75-PB) is the WaterSense-certified version of Jaclo's solid brass adjustable shower head, built around six independently adjustable jets that combine into 48 individual sprays. At 1.75 GPM, it's been tested and labeled by the EPA's WaterSense program, so you get verified water savings rather than just a lower number on the box. 

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.

WaterSense-Certified Efficiency

This is the one Contempo #2 flow rate that carries the EPA's WaterSense label, meaning it's been independently tested for both water savings and shower performance rather than just a low GPM rating. That makes it a straightforward choice for rebate programs, green building credits, or any project where certified efficiency matters.

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

What does WaterSense certification actually require, versus just having a low flow rate?

A WaterSense label isn't just a GPM number; it means the EPA has independently verified that the fixture uses at least 20% less water than the federal maximum while still meeting minimum spray force and coverage standards. That distinction matters because a shower head can technically run at a low flow rate without ever being tested for real-world performance, while this model has been vetted for both.

Am I eligible for a rebate for installing a WaterSense shower head?

Possibly. Many municipal water utilities and some state programs offer rebates or credits for installing WaterSense-labeled fixtures, but eligibility, amounts, and paperwork requirements vary widely by location. Check with your local water utility or municipality before purchasing if a rebate is part of your budgeting, since some programs require the fixture to be new-in-box or installed by a licensed plumber.

Is 1.75 GPM enough pressure for two people showering back-to-back?

Yes, for most households. The six-jet design concentrates flow rather than spreading it thin, so the shower still feels strong even at a reduced GPM, and switching to the Rain setting narrows the spray further for more perceived pressure. In homes with already low incoming water pressure, back-to-back showers may feel a bit weaker toward the end of a hot water cycle, but that's a function of the home's plumbing and water heater rather than this shower head specifically.

Can this shower head be used in a multi-family or commercial property, not just a single-family home?

Yes. It's covered by Jaclo's limited lifetime commercial warranty in addition to the residential warranty, and WaterSense-certified fixtures are commonly specified in multi-family and hospitality renovations where water-use codes and utility costs matter at scale. It installs the same way as the residential version, on a standard 1/2" IPS shower arm.

How do I know if this shower head meets my state or city's water-efficiency code?

WaterSense certification satisfies the great majority of state and local low-flow requirements, since most are based on the same or a similar 1.75 to 2.0 GPM threshold. A handful of jurisdictions, particularly parts of California, set their own slightly different standards, so it's worth double-checking against your local code before you order if you're working under a strict compliance deadline.
