I highly doubt such small ph difference will have any sort of impact on skimmer efficiency. When the air being pulled into the water has lack of oxygen, then maybe there will be an impact. But I am pretty sure that such deficiency of oxygen level will make the room inhabitable for human try battling the phosphate and not the ph.
