Piping opinions

I am looking for opinions on the piping I am working on in my own home. I'm hoping to get feedback on any grave errors before I test and flush the system before hooking up to my boiler. I am doing the piping, contractor is doing venting and startup. I have primary/secondary with direct injection. Lower horizontal pipes are for future dhw and future higher temp supplemental heat to a few rooms. The nasty looking pvc by second pump is going away. An Extrol tank at the top is removed for photo.
I would also look for thoughts on controls. Boiler is a Knight 80kbtu so I will let it control dhw priority. I am leaning towards a Taco PC705-2 variable speed mixing control and SR504 switching relay OR looking at Tekmar's lineup closer.
Thank you for your help.

You need to install an isolation valve between the pressure reducing valve and the system.0 -

Got it. Thank you. I have a shut off before but not after. I wondered about the injection pump pumping down but saw it positioned that way in several publications. Is it bad practice to make a pump pump down due to air wanting to rise or once the system is bled it should be okay?0
