While all power sources will charge at the same rate, power is only drawn from one at a time. I have a base powered by several thermal reactors, and a single water filtration machine will drain one of them completely, but only one. In other words, the power draw is enough to outpace the charging speed of one thermal plant, but not two, meaning one thermal plant will always be drained. With two water filtration machines, you should be draining no more than three thermal plants.

It's nothing to worry about as long as your total power level holds steady at some value above zero.
