an electrical question

have a circuit protected by a ground fault outlet. I have my outdoor lights and fountain pump on it. Lights go off and on using an analog time clock. I have the fountain on a z wave plug adapter.

Landscape lights are all LED and when the circuit switches on each night there is no issue. I try to work the pump, the ground fault kicks when the in rush load from the pump occurs. I am fairly certain the ground fault is a 15amp outlet.

Can anyone tell me what the issue might be? Do I up size the GF outlet to say 20amp. Pump runs fine when I reset the GF outlet after it has tripped. Thoughts?
