Has anyone done anything like this or have any suggestions or concerns?

I have a Fast Ferment conical fermenter. I'm thinking building of a setup with a hose running from the bottom valve of the fermenter to my chugger pump then up to a bracket with a sprayer (http://www.midwestsupplies.com/siphon-sprayer.html) pointing down into the top of the fermenter. After transferring the chilled wort to the fermenter I'd run this pump setup for 20 minutes or so to aerate before pitching the yeast.

Also I was thinking of some sort of an inline filter to collect any trub. Does anybody know of a good sanitary inline filter or how to build one?
