A330 Water Dump During Startup

Hi everyone,

Whilst taken a well earned break from my CPL training, I spent an evening up at Auckland airport as they've a great viewing area by the runway.

During engine start on an China Southern A330-200 I noticed a hell of a lot of liquid being dumped from what appeared to be the underside of the fuselage.

We were pretty intrigued as to what it was (probably water?) and why it was being dumped, so I thought I would ask if anyone had a clue? I've never seen this before...

Many thanks!
