Will these sprayers work in a aeroponic cloner? https://www.lowes.ca/underground-irrigation/rain-bird-2-pack-full-circle-spray-drip-irrigation-micro-spray_g1590378.html?searchTerm=Drip-Irrigation-Micro-Spray
These sprayers will work right?

Ended up finding some proper ones, harder than you would think to find some that ship to canada (that are reasonably priced) but i finally found a site that carries them if any fellow canadians see this, you can get them at: http://www.irrigationdirect.ca/DD-MSF60-Micro-Spray-1-Piece-Full-Circle-360-Red-0.060-Orifice.-DD-MSF60.html

No, ive tried sprayers from lowes...they require higher pressure then our pumps provide...get the ones from the hydro store or....something like these..they are designed for lower pressure

Notice in my last post i said what i went with, similar to what you posted, except cheaper because you don't have to buy 250
And those aren't available in canada, the ones you posted 
what size pump do you use, and what size container, just curious

All I use are the lowes ones and they work great. I have 16 in each tray and the pump is an Eco 396, work great. But I just got 250 red and green ones from eBay for $20. I'm in Canada.

I saw that after i replied and thise were just for reffrence....in my little 5 gallon bucket cloner i used a 240gph with 5 hea da and a small manifold, on my top down 3 site full grow aero setup i have 9 heads and a 520gph The size of the manifold requires a larger pump for the number of heads, both of which are just right, on the big cloner (after i finish the holes will be 90 site) has 18 sprayers and a pump that is to big, a 1000gph...that one would be able to use a 600 or so gph pump with the fairly small manifold.Notice in my last post i said what i went with, similar to what you posted, except cheaper because you don't have to buy 250

Im going with a 18 gallon tote, dont know how many sites yet but what size pump would do, don't want too much just enough as money is a factor, been spending waaaaay too much lately just changed my setup completely so.. I won't need that big of a cloner right now but once outdoor season is upon us i want to be able to pump out as many as i can!

Ebay was an option i was going to go with too but the only ones that were decent price also came with a 14-28 day ship time, I can't wait that long

An 18 gallon tote you could probly go with 8-10 sprayers and 300-500 gph....if you think you may go bigger later you can go to the high side of pump size....this is a guess as im not sure of the dimensions of the tote....my 90 site is somewhere around 40 gallons using 18 sprayers like i said earlier and 18 sprayers are plenty so an 18 gallon being about half the size id guess the 8-10 sprayers should give you good coverage

Yes It did take a bit lol, five weeks I think!

I have put in more than required due to possible blockage so there is cross coverage. With the Eco 396 all heads spray. I have not tried the eBay ones yet.

If you ever need any more of those kind definitely go with the site I gave, a canadian company and expedited shipping, so won't be waiting 5 weeks that's for sure! I'm going with a 296 GPH pump! with my left over sprayers I'm going to build a few bucket versions and sell them on craigslist or equivalent
I made sure to also get extra net pots and neoprene inserts! Should make a nice little flip about $30 to make one that's just going to be sold, and sell for $60 cant complain! My own personal ones obviously cost more because I would put a more powerful pump in it!

Mine are all tote on tote with no sitting water in the grow section, just spray's the roots, but may switch back to a flooded root zone, I get root rot with the sprayers for some reason.
