Yes it does. He is clearly trying to filter the saltwater with the Brita filter to try to make it potable so he can drink it for later.

Exactly! Except... shouldn't it go the other way for that!?!
Once it’s been filtered I guess he’d pour it back into the other container to give it a second pass? Shit, I dunno.
