From what I know, a wet neck is basically a stream of water that trickles from the top of the skimmer down to help prevent sludge from building up in the skimmer and making it easier for the foam to reach the collection cup.
I know that Deltec and RK2 Systems sell optional self-cleaning heads for their skimmers that are basically fancy wet necks.
