Are these springtails "infecting" my DWC bucket? There's no smell and the plant is doing great

I might have a springtail "infection". Can I get some additional eyes on these? Sorry, I don't have a microscope. Tiny, white jumping specks. My googling tells me that they are "springtails" and supposedly harmless or even beneficial. Thoughts?

they look like springtails, they are harmless, but id be changing it out anyway. They will possibly also be in amongst the roots so don't be too surprised if more appear.

Hello. Quite a few years ago now, 10 or 12, I was using rain water for my hydro, and they came in too. I wondered at that time to. So I let them stay, for a few months, until I realized a lot of them weren't so good for the plants. I think they ran out of food and started eating roots. A few are O.K. almost harmless. Chuck

From what I can find. That's what it looks like to me also. I'm not versed in hydro systems but I think your on the right track. Hopefully this helps! Happy Growing! 🤟😜
