Thanks!

The main water supply intake for the heating system has a pressure valve on the backside that is supposed to regulate the pressure of the closed loop. If this valve is bad and the valve is stuck open, wouldn't I have a problem again when I drain the water to lower the PSI to 10-15psi and then open the main water intake? Unless the valve is just temporarity stuck open.....

P.S. I don't see any bypass for the main water supply, the main water supply runs to the shut-off-valve, then the pressure sensor valve and then straight to the return side of the boiler.
