does anyone have this or the SS? i was looking at buying one and putting a T into my main return for this. i've heard some stories of power outages and these failing; thus having water all over the floor. reason of looking at this? well, i'm wanting some different flow within the tank other than just haveing the water go one way. if anyone has any other ideas, i'm welcome to them. also, i've though about the squid but i'm using a 900gph return, would it work if i T the return before it hit the squid?

I have a super squirt and it works great. I'm not sure how it would flood, it is totally enclosed.

I also have a SS as a replacement for a SQUID and it works much better. Less flow loss. Like miracles38 said, I don't know what it would have to do with a power fail flood. It is ok to use it on a sump return, but much better in a closed loop.
In any sump return you should have vacuum breaks to prevent back siphoning and sufficient room in the sump to contain any water that returns to the sump before the siphon breaks come into effect. If you don't know about vacuum/siphon breaks, they are small holes drilled into the return line just below the water line in the returns so that during a power failure as the level of the tank lowers the holes are opened to the air and suck air in and stop the back siphon process.

4ways would be too big for you 40G tank man. If you hook it up to the return pump, the regular squirt would be more than enough for that tank.
If you haven't seen the 4ways yet, I suggest you to check it out before buying it for a 40G. After you hook up 5 unions (1 for input, 4 for outputs), it's really big.
