LOL, I just had a stoner moment a few days ago of this type. I was up in my garden and a friend stopped by. I had drained and balanced my solution and was about to pump it back into the res . I never leave a pump unattended so i figured id wait to refill the res when he took off. Well we went out for a beer. I remembered 1/2 way through my second beer, and forgot by my 5th. I got home piss jrunk, passed out and woke up the next morn. and went to work. I got home and went upstairs for my daily solution balance and BAM! my tub was full and the buckets were empty! I shit you not 24 hours with no water in my buckets and the plants looked soooo goood. I think it actually helped but i dont know. I dont think a few hours will hurt. The roots regularly dry our in the ground to some extent. I checked the root balls and they were still moist so its not a big deal.
I just syphon(before i put drain pipes in the buckets) the solution out of the planter into another bucket of the same size or bigger, mix and balance with new water and neuts, pump back into the res. its that easy.
