i always though the root plants would not work for some reason but deep culture works and i have done that for years and my carrots and radishes are very happy in clay pellets.
So it's not actually a water culture system, because the roots are in a growing medium and not completely suspended in the nutrient solution? If it's like the systems in the videos, they appear to be a combination system, and not a true water culture system. So the crop part of the root system is actually above the water level, with a drip system on top.
