Who We Are

Fronheiser Pools

Fronheiser Pools began in the summer of 1965 as a part time business run by Kenneth Fronheiser. Even as a small business, Fronheiser Pools earned a reputation for quality swimming pool construction, which continues today. Ken’s son, Ronald Fronheiser, began working full-time with Fronheiser Pools in 1971 after graduating from Penn State University. With the guidance of his father, a solid education, and a forward-thinking mindset, Ron helped to grow the business into one the premier and most innovative swimming pool companies and pool construction firms in the region. While Fronheiser Pools mourns the loss of Ken Fronheiser, who we lost in 2005, his legacy lives on through his son Ron and through Adam Fronheiser, Ron’s son.

After construction on your swimming pool has been completed, regular pool maintenance is also very important to our company. Fronheiser Pools employs numerous professionally trained technicians to maintain pools and repair any issues that may arise during the lifetime of your swimming pool. In order to provide the most timely and efficient service, Fronheiser generally reserves service requests for those swimming pools constructed by Fronheiser Pools.

Thank you for visiting the Fronheiser Pools website. We encourage you to stop by one of our stores in Bally, PA or Sinking Spring, PA and say ‘Hi!’ In addition to our quality in-ground swimming pools, Fronheiser Pools is pleased to offer hot tubs & spas, designer patio furniture, as well as a full line of pool and spa chemicals and replacement parts for your pool or spa.

Thank you again for visiting us, we hope to see you soon!

Our Team

As a family-owned company, our employees are family to us as well as the key to our reputation for quality and commitment. All of our employees are full time and properly trained to design and service your dream pool, spa or hot tub, year-round.

Ronald Fronheiser

Owner/President

A good bit of my life, I have been around construction of some sort. In my teens I was helping my father pour concrete curbs and sidewalks, as well as basements and garage floors for some of the larger home builders in the area. After graduating from Boyertown in 1967, I went on and graduated from Penn State in 1971. Since graduating from Penn St., I have been working in the pool and construction business. While we were still small and growing as a company during the 70’s, I was responsible for operating the backhoe, driving our dump truck, pouring concrete, and also performing any pool service we had in the evening after building pools. Fronheiser Pools continued to operate out of a garage behind my parent’s house until we outgrew that location and built a new store with over 8,000 sq. ft. of showroom space in 1996. That garage behind what was my parent’s house now serves as our current construction office and design center. Due to our strong presence in Berks County and in the surrounding Reading area, we added a second store in Sinking Spring to better serve our customers in that area.

I am happily married now for almost 53 years. I have three children and seven grandchildren. I was very much involved in competitive swimming when my children were young. I was involved throughout the 80’s and 90’s in both the local and regional chapters of the National Spa and Pool Association. I was president of the local chapter for two years in the 90’s and I sat on the regional board for several years as well. I am currently a Certified Building Professional through our trade organization. I am also very active in my church at this time and I sit on the Deacon Board.

Adam Fronheiser

Vice President

My name is Adam Fronheiser, and I feel as if I have been in this industry my entire life. I first began working as a part-time employee at Fronheiser Pools at the age of 13 in our original retail location. Throughout my years attending The Hill School and The University of Vermont, I would work the summer months by helping to construct both above ground and in-ground pools. Upon graduating from UVM in 2003, I spent my first full-time year at Fronheiser Pools working exclusively on our construction crews in order to get a better understanding of the intricacies of building a swimming pool. My progression through the company continued as I began to travel with my father, Ron, and learn the art of selling pools and assessing the unique conditions presented by every yard to help guide our client’s through determining the best location to place a pool. As Vice President, I am involved in a wide array of functions to help our company function effectively. I would say that my main function during the pool season is to perform site assessments and meet with clients face-to-face at their residence. I rely on my knowledge and experience as a Certified Building Professional to help guide my clients throughout the entire construction process.

I am married and have one child. In my free time, my primary focus is to spend time with my family. I also enjoy music, rooting (aka suffering) for all four Philadelphia sports teams, swimming, hiking, skiing and Frisbee disk golf.

Nancy Beck

Office Manager

Hi, my name is Nancy Beck. I started out with Fronheiser Pools as a part-time Bookkeeper in 1984. In 1987, I became a full-time employee. I am currently the Office Manager. I own a swimming pool and enjoy every minute of time in my pool. I have owned my pool since 2001. In 2013 we finally decided to purchase a heater for my pool. It was the best thing we ever did. Now I can swim in my pool in October! Besides swimming, in my leisure time I also enjoy golf, bike riding, tennis, and walking.

Gary Geissler

Gary also brings an additional 10 years of general residential construction experience from a previous job.

In his spare time, Gary enjoys riding his motorcycle, music, sports, and spending time with family and friends.

Matt Moffett

Sinking Spring Manager

I started working part-time with Fronheiser Pools in the summer of 2013, before starting my senior year of high school. I then attended Penn State University while working full time, and graduated in May 2018, with a Criminal Justice Degree. In the beginning of 2016, while still attending college, I was promoted to Assistant Manager of the Sinking Spring store. By April of 2020, I was then promoted to Store Manager. Each day is a new and different experience which I thoroughly enjoy. There’re so many of our long-time customers, who come in for their pool/spa needs, which I enjoy helping and seeing. Many of these customers feel more like friends. However, there’re many new customers I’ve met, which is a wonderful opportunity to help educate them on their needs for their pools/spas. In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors hunting and fishing. But in the fall, being a season ticket holder, I look forward to attending The Penn State football games with family and friends. However, taking walks with my best four-legged friend Toby, is the best part of my day. I’m very close to my family so we spend weekends together going to dinner and hanging out.
