All septic tanks and as a matter of fact 99% of all life in the septic tank is oxygen based. It is simply that the smelly life uses the oxygen attached to sulfur because no free oxygen is available. When they use sulfur based oxygen they really stink up the place, "smells like rotten eggs." When you provide bubbled oxygen they use it instead and DO NOT make the nasty smells.

Septic aerators bubble oxygen into a septic tank by several different means, including solar powered septic aeration systems. Just like the large municipal wastewater treatment plants work, when you bubble air or introduce oxygen into a septic tank, you can improve treatment 20 times or more using the same amount of space and time.

What would cause low water pressure from taps down stairs yet is fine in bathroom?

Undo the aerator at the end of the spout and clean out the screen of the aerator. It is probably plugged up. Run the water without the aerator attached. If you have full pressure, the plugged aerator is the problem. If you do not have full pressure without the aerator on the spout, it could be plugged in the spout. Usually the aerator plugged.
