Maybe it could be useful: you can set the irrigation always on (obv. in a recirculating setup) unless the dissolved oxygen level is too low.
Roots don't care about too much water. Water rich in oxygen does NOT carry too much anaerobia bacteria and provides the plants enough oxygen to have an happy life.
Be sure to feed enough oxygen to roots...the way it's up to you. There are many effective ways to do it.
