I have purchased this boyu aquarium filter(SP-602E). But when i switch it on, only the air bubbles seem to be comming out. But I want the filter to work, not the air bubbles. Please tell me how to get the filter working. Please help.

I’m not familiar with this specific filter, but I’m guessing it is an internal filter? What else do you expect to be happening with it? Most internal filters suck up water, and filter out the particles with a sponge that is located inside the filter, and then the water comes out, along with air bubbles. The only real action you would see is the air bubbles.
Try taking a small piece of kleenex, and putting it right under where the water would get sucked up (It’ll look like a grid on the bottom / side of the filter) and see is the kleenex gets pulled towards the filter. Then you’ll know it’s working.
Fill the filter full of water first. If it is only a bubbler, you won’t really see it working like you would a waterfall or over the back filter.
