I'm going dig a little more to find out what the coating is.
Silver coating??? That's your problem right there! The silver is as far off from copper, as aluminium is, but in this case, it'll make the copper corrode!!!

Your T's are probably coated with some kind of stainless alloy, still bad.

You should replace those T's with PVC ones.
