How ubiquitous are home water filtration systems in the USA?

It will depend on the state and the gusto of the home owner.

  • In some northern states, tap water tastes great and is perfectly healthy without a filter, so there is little chance to find one.
  • in Florida, water is ok health-wise, but tastes like cat pee (it is hot, so they add a lot of stuff to restrict bacterial growth). So households where people actually drink water would often have a filter; but if it's a soda-drinker family, they wouldn't bother.
  • in some specific places, I wouldn't touch the tap water with a ten-foot pole, filtered or not.
  • and so on.

Your best bet is to buy one when you arrive, they are cheap, and you can take it with you.
