Is there any harm in running pH at 8.0 if CSI is within range?

My pool gets a lot of aeration due to spillover and water features. For the past several months, I've let the pH drift up to 8.2 before adding muratic acid to bring pH down to 7.8. If the CSI is within acceptable ranges, does it matter if pH is at 8.0-8.2?

No.

In a manually chlorinated pool … probably not a problem. If the pool had an SWG, then I’d say yes, there can be harm to the cell in the form of greater tendency to scale calcium.

You’re manually chlorinating so it should be ok.

Thank you.
