My setup: Well->Pump->Outdoor tank->House plumbing.

It's a small house, so just kitchen, one bathroom and one outdoor faucet located where the water enters the house.

The kitchen sink has very low pressure (both cold and hot) and the washing machine, located in a closet in the kitchen has zero cold water pressure but good hot water pressure. The rest of the fixtures (bathroom and outdoor tap) work fine.

Here's the twist: Every single plumber I've engaged has either been unable or unwilling to fix the problem. The answer as to why probably has something to do with the fact that I live in small town in a developing country.

Advice that I've been able to find online suggests emptying my hot tank and blocking the faucet while I run the cold water, but I'm not seeing how that's going to fix my problem. I'm generally pretty handy when it comes to DIY, just not plumbing, so literally any advice or help is very much welcome.
