The air supplied by that compressor is critical to the specific bacteria living in that chamber. That bacterial colony is essential to the operation of your septic system.
Keep that compressor running! Get an electrician in your house to run a dedicated circuit for it; without a damned GFI. And then, get a qualified septic man (specifically trained & equipped to work on aerobic systems) to pump out your tanks and do a thorough inspection of the entire system, including the leaching field.
Congratulations, you are the proud owner of a miniature waste-water treatment facility ..... pretty cool!
Feel free to ask questions,
J
If it’s plugged in, it should likely have a GFCI.
