The Aztec ProScrub 030-20 is a 20-inch walk-behind battery auto scrubber sized for the most common job in commercial floor care: a single operator covering 5,000-15,000 square feet of hard floor on a regular schedule. Schools, mid-size offices, fitness centers, and chain retail are all in the sweet spot for this machine.
Built for
- Schools and education - main hallways, gymnasiums, and cafeteria floors. The 20-inch deck fits standard hallway widths without bumping lockers, and the 16,000 sq-ft-per-hour rate clears a wing during a single class period.
- Retail and grocery - aisle and entry maintenance after hours. The 65 lb scrubbing pressure handles cart-track soil and entryway grit without needing to pre-scrub.
- Healthcare and senior living - corridors, dining rooms, and lobby tile. Wet cell battery operation means no power cord trailing behind the operator near patient or resident traffic.
- Houses of worship and event venues - rapid Sunday-night turnaround on entry tile, fellowship halls, and event rooms.
- Property management and contract cleaners who own a single mid-size machine for route work between accounts.
Why a wet cell pack on this configuration?
The 030-20 ships standard with two 130 Ah 12-volt deep-cycle wet cell batteries. Wet cell (flooded lead-acid) is the lowest-cost-per-amp-hour option and offers the longest cycle life when watered and equalized on schedule. Operators who want a sealed, no-watering pack can step up to the AGM model (030-20-AGM) - same scrub deck, same controls, just a maintenance-free battery upgrade.

Frequently asked questions
How does this compare to a 17 or 24-inch scrubber?
A 17-inch deck is faster to maneuver in tight retail aisles or restroom-heavy buildings but its productive rate caps around 11,000-13,000 sq ft per hour. A 24 or 26-inch deck moves more square footage per hour but is harder to turn around end caps and elevator vestibules. The 20-inch is the most popular general-purpose size for that reason - it covers most floor plans without forcing an operator to back-and-fill.
Wet cell vs AGM - which should I order?
Choose wet cell for lowest upfront cost and best cycle life with a maintenance routine. Choose AGM if you do not have a dedicated battery service area, if the machine will sit for stretches between uses, or if your building has rules about flooded battery storage. Wet cell needs distilled water topped up roughly monthly under normal duty.
Can I run it on already-stripped or freshly waxed floors?
The 030-20 is the right tool for daily and weekly maintenance scrubbing - removing soil, scuff, and footprints between recoats. It can also be used for stripping with the right pad and chemistry, but a strip job often produces more foam and slurry than a 12 gallon solution tank can run dry without dumping. For dedicated stripping rounds, plan extra dump cycles.
How do I know when to replace the batteries?
Wet cell batteries on this duty typically last 18-30 months with consistent watering and a full charge after each shift. Signs they are at end of life: run time drops below 90 minutes, the pack will not hold charge between shifts, or one cell tests low on a hydrometer. Replacements are stocked.
What about pad selection?
The unit ships with one green scrubbing pad. Use red pads for light maintenance scrubbing, blue or green for daily and heavy-duty, and a stripping pad with appropriate chemistry only when you actually need to remove finish. Bulk pad cases are stocked.
