Saddle valves are leak prone depending on the age and the installation. If your valve is leaking sometimes tightening will solve the problem. If you must have a new one and the old one is not leaking... I would suggest just to leave the old one and install a new one near the old one as disconnecting, cleaning (the pipe) and assuring that your aim is good in aligning the new valve to use the existing perforation of the old valve is difficult, and requires turning off the water supply. Installing a new saddle valve is quite simpler and the water may remain on.

How do you increase the water pressure or tell if there is a kink in the line of a side by side refrigerator that has low water pressure from the water dispenser?
Very often, the water line for the refrigerator comes from a saddle valve. This is a valve that is clamped on a water line and makes a small hole in it. Depending on the quality of your water supply, minerals in the water can collect in the hole and reduce the amount getting through. Sometines you can screw the tap back in on the valve and clear the line or with the water shut off, take the saddle valve off, drill a slightly larger hole in the pipe and re install the valve over the hole.
