hydor Powerheads rubbery ?

[Nem0]

Warning yall, this is a very odd post lol. But i recently got a hydor koralia powerhead and during the install, the suction cups smelled very very rubbery. So of course, I gave it a lick and it has that taste that make you recoil/tongue shrivel up/try and wipe your tongue with a napkin. not sure if you guys have accidentally, or purposely lol, licked rubber before but this had same outcome. Just wanted to be sure this was okay inside my aquarium... do any other hydor powerhead users have this problem?

again, sorry if this is weird but i wanted to make sure. i tried washing it and scrubbing, rubber taste still there

Well your fish aren’t going to mind the taste is the rubber. So yes it’s safe to add
