I've read that as well. I do turn off the water-just in case. I think the filter lasts like 4 months the replacement warning is actually controlled by time not water use. You do not need to roll the refrigerator out to change the filter. As we shut the water off, we need to pull the refrigerator out and use that as an opportunity to vacuum under the refrigerator and THE COILS which should be done anyway. With our hard water, it is probably not a bad idea to open and close the valves once a year to be sure they still work.
