Do you have to lower pH often? Your pH is in the upper 7’s, but your TA is a bit high, so I assume your pH rises somewhat fast. If so, I’d advise lowering pH to the lower 7’s, maybe 7.2, and you’ll be fine. You know your pool and your SWCG, so go with what you know.
 
Numbers look good. The only other thing I can think of is pool water flow (suction). Do you have a lot of trees that might block-up the poolside skimmer(s)? Or do you have a drain as a back-up for suction? Either having someone to check the skimmer basket(s) or simply ensuring you never lose water flow is the only other thing I can thin of.
