Hydro-Force Gekko SX-15 Head AR51S - 15" Tile and Grout Tool
Tile and grout restoration specialists, post-construction cleaners, and full-service carpet cleaning shops use the SX-15 family on grocery store aisles, restaurant kitchens, restroom floors, and large institutional tile. The Gekko-style wand profile makes the AR51S the version of choice when you have to clean tile under fixed cabinetry, around toilets, and in narrow restroom stalls where a head-style spinner cannot reach.
Why it works
On the tile-and-grout subset of carpet-cleaner forums, the SX-15 is the most-recommended single tool because the laminar-vortex vacuum design pulls the floor close to dry on the first pass. Operators who switch from a 12-inch tool to the 15-inch report visible time savings on the same square footage - and the EZ-LOC boot ends the worst maintenance complaint of older spinners (rivets pulling out and shrouds dragging).

- Toe-adjustable vacuum relief lets you tune suction without stopping
- Gekko-wand profile is the slimmest in pro tile cleaning
- Requires 700 PSI minimum - portable or truck-mount
Frequently asked questions
Does the AR51S include the Gekko wand?
No - the AR51S is the SX-15 head plus the components needed to attach it to a Gekko wand (AR51A). The wand is sold separately.
Minimum pressure to spin properly?
700 PSI at the head. Most portable extractors with 500 PSI pumps will spin it slowly; truck mounts at 1000-1200 PSI run it ideally.
Truck mount or portable?
Both. Pair with at least 700 PSI for portables and any modern truck mount for full performance.
Replacement boots?
Yes - hard-surface and grout-specific boots are stocked. The EZ-LOC system makes a swap a 30-second job.
