How does one go about increasing water pressure in a baseboard heating system?

there is a pipe that comes into the boiler from the water system you drink from, the pipe will then have a valve (that should remain open) to a backflow preventer, then into a pressure reducing valve, there are many different kinds of reducing valves and most are adjustable. 12psi cold to 18psi hot should be the pressure in the system.
