When they got on the planet they had no idea there wouldn't be nearly as much pure water. I do believe they should have split up to look for water and then brought the cart. By the time they found the water they had no choice to take whatever they had. Some water is better than no water.
OK, you have made this same argument in 3+ threads, but have completely ignored the logic of using chemical based life support- it is easy to fix! You are assuming that the high tech solution is the most "Logical" when in fact, maintaining the system with minimal parts and support from "Home" is FAR more "Logical"! You need any of a half dozen common oxidizers + water and you are good to go. The fact that the ship has these systems just supports its intent to be self sufficient. Ditto for the Solar power. It is far more "Logical" for the ship to not need outside help!
