In Ventana, is entire basement heated by Oasis or just wet bay

I've asked this in the middle of other threads but never gotten a good answer.

So, is just the wet bay heated by the oasis, or is the entire basement area heated and kept above freezing? Among other reasons, I'm wondering about the hot water line to the generator. Even if the shutoff to it is closed, based on pictures, it looks like the shutoff valve is outside the wet bay.

Is there just one radiator in the wet bay, or multiple in basement? Is there air flow from wet bay to rest of basement?

Just one thermostat...screwed to the front wall of the wetbay near the Water Pump Controller...which control the fans on the one heat exchanger above the off door side control panel area. The other compartments just share what heat they can get thru openings here and there above compartment dividers. Sadly, I do not know which zone that exchanger is on...guess I could play with one of those laser aimed thermometers

We spent several weeks this past January in Nappanee (8*F) with snow and below freezing temps. and nothing froze; everything worked fine. I have the hot water line in the genny area. That did not freeze but I did not use it either.

AFAIK the register in the wet bay is the only one.

I talked to an Oasis tech about the wet bay register operation. I am not 100% sure of this, but it seems this register operated independently of the wall thermostat-sort of like its own zone. If the wet bay temp sensor reads 40* or less the register will kick on as long as either/both the Oasis AC elements and/or burner is on. I remember thinking it is all automatic and nothing to adjust.
