Not sure where you quoting this from.  I am looking at the official
documentation here

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/watertidy.html

which clearly states

This program has two purposes.

     1. It moves the H2O coordinates to the symmetry related position
        nearest to the host molecule.
     2. It attempts to design an H2O naming system which gives some
        information about the residue which a particular H2O is hydrogen
        bonded to. The user inputs chain IDs for host chains and assigns
        an output ID for the H2Os bonded to this chain.

There is an option in refmac gui to use coot to add waters.  If you
don't want to do extra refinement, just set the number of steps to 0.
