The Purigen can go just under the white "polypad".
The Matrix can probably go at the top or bottom maybe of the bottom basket.

I have placed the matrix in the top of the bottom basket and then the Purigen in the top basket under the charcoal and poly pad.

Take the carbon pad out, you don't need it for most fish in freshwater. ;)

Can Purigen be treated to renew it?

Yes, bleach solution (the weak bleach not the thick, and with no perfumes/sufactants) does it.
Remember to soak in conditioned water afterwards though. ;)
