If your antifreeze jug (or in your case, the bleach) is on the ground, you probably have to raise it up, at least level or higher to the hose connection in the wet bay / convenience center. There is a check valve right behind the hose connection, behind that filter screen where the hose connects. A lot of folks remove that screen and then remove the in-line valve and then there is enough suction to pull the antifreeze up from ground level.
Honestly, I tried doing that and didn't feel comfortable removing that check valve. I find it easier to simply rest the jug of antifreeze on the top of the bay door (mine flips up), which makes the jug higher and then the pump works with no problem.
Simple solution, raise the antifreeze jug higher than the bay. Next, insert the hose into the jug. Then turn the water pump on. Then turn a faucet on in that order.
Once it starts sucking, shut the faucet off and let the line pressurize until the water pump equalizes and shuts off. Then you are good to go. Open one faucet at a time until pink stuff (or in your case, the bleach) starts flowing. Then move to the next one.
If you are filling your fresh water tank, connect the outside shower hose to the fill fresh water tank connection and turn on the outside shower. Instead of letting the water (or antifreeze, or bleach) run on the ground, it will run into the fresh water thank and then it will be sanitized too.
