Got cloudy pool, was going to deep clean filter. Had question.
Can I turn the Multi-valve to closed and take the top off or do I need to disconnect the lines?

Side mounted valve and top off the filter and not the multiport? Pump and filter above the waterline or below?
I may not give you the answer you want to hear, but I will give an honest opinion of your situation as you decribe it.

Just thinking I could get away with setting the multi to closed, taking it off the top of the filter and all the water doesn't drain out. It is below waterline

Then the water will run back from the returns and flood you! Block the returns with pool bungs. You should have valve in front of the pump so turn that off as well.

Take an image of how it's positioned so that you put it back correctly

Thanks everyone I just went ahead and disconnected the incoming and outgoing lines, kind of annoying hose clamp deals. My god the amount of crud in that filter. Probably ran the hose for an hour.

Thats the issue with domestic filters, quite good at collection of crud but not so good at backwashing it out again.
