Anyone do septic?
I do general private contract work and wtf is this?
Why is there a GFCI inside a septic lid?
Is this code or something?
Was this guy new and "wet=GFCI"?
Was he retarded.

Can someone elaborate on why a licensed professional would do this? I'm willing to accept I don't know something. But this seems retarded.

I hard wired it and put a GFCI plug inside and have that into the breaker.

It's a nigger rigged power source for his shit pump. What makes you say "licensed professional"?
>>
>>2963549
It's on a 3 million dollar home.
It was supposedly inspected.
I saw the company van while I was working there on other things while they worked on it.
They are licensed.

Is there any reason for them to have done this?

Not a good one. At least you put the GFCI indoors.
>>
>>2963565
You think that corroded, rusted out piece of shit was just installed today?
You have to explain the situation a little better because right now i think youre a dipshit
>>
>>2963568
Different Anon, but the GFCI probably didn't even function anymore which defeats the purpose of using it to begin with, and I don't think that's a weatherproof outlet cover. Most people have a sanitation crew come to clean out their tank periodically.

everyone above me is retarded and ignorant and should have kept their ignorant retarded mouths shut.

The purpose of power is your septic tank is for a high water level alarm. Basically a float switch that closes, and yes, you want that on a gfci so if you arent home and it plugs up and overflows it trips out.

I cannot believe the level of ignorance here. I normally would let it go bit this is so what the fuck tier its mind blowing.

in your basement if its unfinished, you should pretty easily be able to track the wire that feeds that to the electrical panel. there will probably be a reset button or switch near a basement wall leading to the tank

fuck you all

the other possible explanation is if you have a mound, thats your distribution chamber (comes after the tank) and that power is for the pump to pump it to a mound. thats not what yours is though, im just giving another reason every other poster in this thread should kill themselves

Merry Christmas, septic tank technician! In case you didn't know, you can wire the outlet to an upstream GFCI in a dry location.
>>
>>2963608
and cut the plug off to use waterproof wire nuts and a strain relief in a junction box so the hydrogen sulfide from your turd gas doesn't corrode the connections.
