At work they clean all the machine surfaces with disinfectant before
adding
new coolant.

I would just pour in a couple of buckets of doluted bleach and can run
the pump for a few minutes with it. Would that work?


Bacteria that live on bleach are not uncommon.
You really ought to use both a anti-bacterial agent and fungicide inside and
out.
Antibacterial soap is everywhere. Check a pool supplu house for the
fungicide. They will have something and DO wash the entire machine and then
rinse it well.
