One of the guys I work with has had to replace 2 elbows in his system in the last 3-4 months because of the exact same type of pitting in his fittings. The dezincification was just a thought.

When I do my install I was going to avoid using 90 and use PEX Bend Supports.  You just put your pex pipe in it and it curves the 90.

I would also read up selecting the correct circulators and make sure that you have the right pump for your application.  Here is a great link.

That is good practice, we only use 90's when absolute necessary
