Compare what you have to the beasty which turned out to be springtail nymphs in this post.
There were also egg-rafts floating on the surface of the water.
A jeweller's eye-lens is handy for identifying micro 'things'. You can have a look and take details like number of legs, body segments, antennae and tails. Make a note and a rough sketch of body shape. This at least gives some idea to help with whether it is mites or something harmless.
